ABSTRACT In the Sonora Margin cold seep ecosystems (Gulf of California), sediments
underlying microbial mats harbor high biogenic methane concentrations, fueling various …

Cold seeps, located along the Sonora Margin transform fault in the Guaymas Basin, were
extensively explored during the 'BIG'cruise in June 2010. They present a seafloor mosaic …

Methane seepages typically harbor communities of anaerobic methane oxidizers (ANME);
however, knowledge about fine-scale vertical variation of ANME in response to geochemical …

Methane vents are of significant geochemical and ecological importance. Notable progress
has been made toward understanding anaerobic methane oxidation in marine sediments; …

Background Methane oxidizing prokaryotes in marine sediments are believed to function as
a methane filter reducing the oceanic contribution to the global methane emission. In the …

The anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in the marine subsurface is a significant sink for
methane in the environment, yet our understanding of its regulation and dynamics is still …

Microbial methanogenesis in subseafloor sediments is a key process in the carbon cycle on
the Earth. However, the cultivation-dependent evidences have been poorly demonstrated …

Syntrophic consortia of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate-reducing
bacteria (SRB) consume large amounts of methane and serve as the foundational …

Microbes play a crucial role in mediating the methane flux in deep-sea cold seep
ecosystems, where only methane-related microbes have been well studied, while the whole …

The methanogenic community in hydrothermally active sediments of Guaymas Basin (Gulf of
California, Mexico) was analyzed by PCR amplification, cloning, and sequencing of methyl …
