Freshwater lakes represent an important source of the potent greenhouse gas methane
(CH4) to the atmosphere. Methane emissions are regulated to large parts by aerobic (MOx) …

Lacustrine methane emissions are strongly mitigated by aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria
(MOB) that are typically most active at the oxic-anoxic interface. Although oxygen is required …

Background Microbial methane oxidation, methanotrophy, plays a crucial role in mitigating
the release of the potent greenhouse gas methane from aquatic systems. While aerobic …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) by methanotrophic archaea is an important sink of
this greenhouse gas in marine sediments. However, evidence for AOM in freshwater …

Microbial methane oxidation is the major biological methane (CH 4) sink in the carbon cycle.
Methanotrophs can use various electron acceptors in addition to oxygen; understanding the …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a biological process that plays an important role in
reducing the CH 4 emissions from a wide range of ecosystems. Arctic and sub-Arctic lakes …

Aerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria (methanotrophs) are widely distributed in the
environment and play a key role in the cycling of the potent greenhouse gas methane. They …

Freshwater lakes represent a substantial natural source of methane to the atmosphere and
thus contribute to global climate change. Microbial methane oxidation is an important control …

Eutrophication is expected to increase methane production in freshwater sediments
worldwide over the coming decades. Methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) consume a …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a microbial process that consumes dissolved
methane (CH 4) in anoxic sediments and soils and mitigates CH 4 release to the …
