Large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, are produced in anoxic sediments by
methanogenic archaea. Nonetheless, over 90% of the produced methane is oxidized via …

Reduction in methane emissions to the Earth's atmosphere is a critical strategy for tackling
climate change. It is well established that anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) associated …

Microbial sulfate reduction is largely associated with anaerobic methane oxidation and
alkane degradation in sulfate–methane transition zone (SMTZ) of deep‐sea cold seeps …

Seamounts are ubiquitous in the ocean. However, little is known about how seamount
habitat features influence the local microbial community. In this study, the microbial …

Fe (III) has been recognized as a potential electron sink for the anaerobic oxidation of
methane (Fe-AOM) in diverse environments. However, most of previous Fe-AOM processes …

Terrestrial mud volcanoes (TMVs) are important natural sources of methane emission. The
microorganisms inhabiting these environments remain largely unknown. We studied the …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) coupled with reduction of metal oxides is supposed
to be a globally important bioprocess in marine sediments. However, the responsible …

Background Gas hydrate-bearing subseafloor sediments harbor a large number of
microorganisms. Within these sediments, organic matter and upward-migrating methane are …

Due to the industrial emissions and accidental spills, the critical material for modern
industrial society petroleum pollution causes severe ecological damage. The prosperous oil …

Although coastal sediments are major contributors to the production of atmospheric
methane, the effects of environmental conditions on methanogenesis and the community of …
