Biologically produced methane as a renewable energy source
Methanogens are a unique group of strictly anaerobic archaea that are more metabolically
diverse than previously thought. Traditionally, it was thought that methanogens could only …

The biogeochemistry of ferruginous lakes and past ferruginous oceans
Anoxic and iron-rich (ferruginous) conditions prevailed in the ocean under the low-oxygen
atmosphere that occurred through most of the Archean Eon. While euxinic conditions (ie …

LakeMIP Kivu: evaluating the representation of a large, deep tropical lake by a set of one-dimensional lake models
The African great lakes are of utmost importance for the local economy (fishing), as well as
being essential to the survival of the local people. During the past decades, these lakes …

Water column dynamics control nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation by Candidatus “Methylomirabilis” in stratified lake basins
We investigated microbial methane oxidation in the water column of two connected but
hydrodynamically contrasting basins of Lake Lugano, Switzerland. Both basins accumulate …
