Uncovers the Key Role Microbes Play in the Transformation of Oxidizable and Reducible
MineralsMany areas of geomicrobial processes are receiving serious attention from …

The atmospheric concentration of methane (CH4), a major greenhouse gas, is mainly
controlled by the activities of methane-producing (methanogens) and methane-consuming …

This study was conducted to characterize the vertical distribution of bacterial and archaeal
communities in the water and sediment of Lake Taihu, which underwent a change in trophic …

Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in anoxic waters and sediments are the major producers of
methylmercury in aquatic systems. Although a considerable amount of work has addressed …

Detailed studies on the relation of structure and function of microbial communities in a
sediment depth profile scarcely exist. We determined as functional aspect the vertical …

Methane, the simplest alkane, is one of the most important and abundant carbon molecules
on Earth. It is a major supply of energy, a chemical feedstock, and a potent greenhouse gas …

Background Lake sediments harbor diverse microbial communities that cycle carbon and
nutrients while being constantly colonized and potentially buried by organic matter sinking …

The microbial community structure of an anoxic profundal lake sediment, ie, subtropical
Lake Kinneret, was analysed with respect to its composition by culture-independent …

Methane is an important end product of degradation of organic matter in anoxic lake
sediments. Methane is mainly produced by either reduction of CO 2 or cleavage of acetate …

Sulfate reduction, mediated by sulfate‐reducing bacteria (SRB), is the dominant
remineralization pathway in sediments of New England salt marshes. High sulfate reduction …
