Methyl-based methanogenesis is one of three broad categories of archaeal anaerobic
methanogenesis, including both the methyl dismutation (methylotrophic) pathway and the …

Archaea are common constituents of the gut microbiome of humans, ruminants, and termites
but little is known about their diversity and abundance in other animals. Here, we analyse …

Methanol is an ubiquitous compound that plays a role in microbial processes as a carbon
and energy source, intermediate in metabolic processes or as end product in fermentation …

Bathyarchaeia, as one of the most abundant microorganisms on Earth, play vital roles in the
global carbon cycle. However, our understanding of their origin, evolution, and ecological …

With the rapid globalization of trade, the worldwide spread of pathogens through ballast
water is becoming a major concern. Although the international maritime organization (IMO) …

Background A large proportion of prokaryotic microbes in marine sediments remains
uncultured, hindering our understanding of their ecological functions and metabolic features …

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

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

Bottom sediments at methane discharge sites of the Laptev Sea shelf were investigated. The
rates of microbial methanogenesis and methane oxidation were measured, and 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 …
