Soils and sediments are major reservoirs of organic matter (OM), whose dynamic turnover
has a major impact on carbon cycling and global climate. OM in soils and sediments is …

Electroactive microorganisms markedly affect many environments in which they establish
outer-surface electrical contacts with other cells and minerals or reduce soluble extracellular …

Biogeochemical cycling of iron is crucial to many environmental processes, such as ocean
productivity, carbon storage, greenhouse gas emissions and the fate of nutrients, toxic …

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 …

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a major biological process that reduces global
methane emission to the atmosphere. Anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) mediate …

Host-associated microbial communities have an important role in sha** the health and
fitness of plants and animals. Most studies have focused on the bacterial, fungal or viral …

Anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) carry out anaerobic oxidation of methane, thus
playing a crucial role in the methane cycle. Previous genomic evidence indicates that multi …

The anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to sulfate reduction is a microbially mediated
process requiring a syntrophic partnership between anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) …

Anaerobic methane oxidation exerts a key control on greenhouse gas emissions, yet factors
that modulate the activity of microorganisms performing this function remain poorly …

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