Cold seep is a unique habitat for microorganisms in deep marine sediments, and microbial
communities and biogeochemical processes are still poorly understood, especially in …

The major processes that determine the distribution of methane (CH 4) in anoxic marine
sediments are methanogenesis and the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), with …

Shallow methane/sulfate transition zones in cold seeps are hotspots to study microbially
mediated geochemical cycles due to high methane fluxes. However, our knowledge about …

To systematically quantify the production, consumption, and migration of methane, 210
sediment cores were collected from offshore southwestern Taiwan and analyzed for their …

The biogeochemical processes, anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) and
methanogenesis, control methane emission and create distinct geochemical profiles with …

Gas hydrates harbour gigatons of natural gas, yet their microbiomes remain understudied.
We bioprospected 16S rRNA amplicons, metagenomes, and metaproteomes from methane …

This study was conducted to characterize the diversity and function of microbial communities
in marine sediments of the Pearl River Mouth Basin (PRMB) in the South China Sea. The …

Anthropogenic activities usually contaminate water environments, and have led to the
eutrophication of many estuaries and shifts in microbial communities. In this study, the …

To investigate the influence of Sonneratia apetala on nutrients and heavy metals in intertidal
sediments, sediment cores of S. apetala marsh and mudflat in Shenzhen Bay, China were …

Biogenic and thermogenic gas are two major contributors to gas hydrate formation. Methane
hydrates from both origins may have critical impacts on the ecological properties of marine …
