Abstract Sediments from Xuanwu Lake have been dredged in the past 3 years to improve
the water quality, but methanogenesis should still exist in the newly settled sediment …

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 …

River-bay system is a transitional zone connecting land and ocean and an important natural
source for methane emission. Methanogens play important roles in the global greenhouse …

Few studies have specifically dealt so far with methanogen‐related archaea in estuarine
sediments. In this study, methanogen‐related archaeal populations were investigated by …

Microbial methanogenesis in sediment plays a crucial role in CH 4 emission from freshwater
lake ecosystems. However, knowledge of the layer-depth-related changes of methanogen …

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

Purpose Sediments are significant methane (CH 4) sources of the atmosphere. However,
the mechanisms of CH 4 generation remain unclear in sediments of shallow urban lakes …

Freshwater reservoirs are an important source of the greenhouse gas methane (CH 4).
However, little is known about the activity and structure of microbial communities involved in …

Methanogen populations of an intertidal mudflat in the Yangtze River estuary of China were
investigated based on the methyl coenzyme M reductase A (mcrA) gene using 454 …

Based on clone and sequencing of methanogen-related 16S rRNA genes, the diversity and
composition of methanogen-related archaeal communities in Pearl River Estuary sediment …
