Methane is the final product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. The
conversion of organic matter to methane (methanogenesis) as a mechanism for energy …

Alkanes are saturated apolar hydrocarbons that range from their simplest form, methane, to
high-molecular-weight compounds. Although alkanes were once considered biologically …

Anaerobic methane oxidation is coupled to the reduction of electron acceptors, such as
sulfate, and contributes to their biogeochemical cycling in the environment. However …

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 …

Anaerobic marine environments are the third largest producer of the greenhouse gas
methane. The release to the atmosphere is prevented by anaerobic 'methanotrophic …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) mediated by microorganisms plays an important role
in the global carbon cycle and methane emission control. This study demonstrated that …

Acetate-utilizing methanogens are responsible for approximately two-thirds of the one billion
metric tons of methane produced annually in Earth's anaerobic environments …

Permanently cold marine sediments are heavily influenced by increased input of iron as a
result of accelerated glacial melt, weathering, and erosion. The impact of such …

Coastal ecosystems have been largely ignored in Earth system models but are important
zones for carbon and nutrient processing. Interactions between water, microbes, soil …
