Methane is a potent greenhouse gas commonly supersaturated in the oxic surfaces waters
of oceans and lakes, yet canonical microbial methanogens are obligate anaerobes. One …

The prevailing paradigm in aquatic science is that microbial methanogenesis happens
primarily in anoxic environments. Here, we used multiple complementary approaches to …

High-pressure (HP) environments represent the largest volumetric majority of habitable
space for microorganisms on the planet, including the deep-sea and subsurface biosphere …

Diversity and community structure of aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria in the littoral
sediment of Lake Constance was investigated by cloning analysis and terminal restriction …

The objective of this study was to characterize metabolically active, aerobic methanotrophs
in an ombrotrophic peatland in the Marcell Experimental Forest, in Minnesota …

Background Natural gas contains methane and the gaseous alkanes ethane, propane and
butane, which collectively influence atmospheric chemistry and cause global warming …

Wetlands are natural sources of methane (CH4) emissions, providing the largest
contribution to the atmospheric CH4 pool. Changes in the ecohydrological environment of …

Mangrove ecosystems are important methane (CH 4) sources driven by microbial activities.
Mangrove reforestation has been practiced as a strategy to restore the ecological functions …

The sediment-water interfaces of cold seeps play important roles in nutrient transportation
between seafloor and deep-water column. Microorganisms are the key actors of …

Methane production is influenced by the abundance of methanogens and the availability of
terminal substrates. Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) also play an important role in the …
