Methanogenic archaeal communities existing in freshwater sediments are responsible for
approximately 50% of the total global emission of methane. This process contributes …

About half of the global methane (CH4) emission is contributed by the methanogenic
archaeal communities leading to a significant increase in global warming. This …

The variation in the diversity of methanogens in sediment depths from Sitka stream was
studied by constructing a 16S rRNA gene library using methanogen-specific primers and a …

The methanogen community in sediment from the edge of a small brackish lake connected
to the Beaulieu Estuary (Hampshire, UK) was investigated by analysis of 16S rRNA gene …

To date, a great number of oligonucleotide probes/primers targeting phylogenetic markers of
methanogenic archaea (methanogens), such as 16S rRNA and the gene for the α-subunit of …

Methanogenic Archaea produce approximately one billion tons of methane annually, but
their biology remains largely unknown. This is partially due to the large phylogenetic and …

For the identification and quantification of methanogenic archaea (methanogens) in
environmental samples, various oligonucleotide probes/primers targeting phylogenetic …

Studies on methanogenesis from freshwater sediments have so far primarily focused on lake
sediments. To expand our knowledge on the community composition of methanogenic …

Methanogens play a critical role in the decomposition of organics under anaerobic
conditions. The methanogenic consortia in saturated wetland soils are often subjected to …

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and produced mainly by methanogens. Few studies
have specifically dealt so far with methanogens in estuarine environments. In this study …
