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

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 …

Maximizing carbon sequestration in mangroves is part of the global effort to combat the
climate crisis. However, methane (CH4) emissions can partially offset carbon sequestration …

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas and its biological conversion in marine sediments,
largely controlled by anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), is a crucial part of the global …

Large amounts (estimates range from 70 Tg per year to 300 Tg per year) of the potent
greenhouse gas methane are oxidized to carbon dioxide in marine sediments by …

Coastal wetlands are an important source of methane emissions, and understanding the
mechanisms that control methane emissions from coastal wetlands is of great significance to …

Microbial methanogenesis may have been a major component of Earth's carbon cycle
during the Archaean eon, generating a methane greenhouse that increased global …

Freshwater lakes represent a substantial natural source of methane to the atmosphere and
thus contribute to global climate change. Microbial methane oxidation is an important control …

Collectively, marine sediments comprise the largest reservoir of methane on Earth. The flux
of methane from the sea bed to the overlying water column is mitigated by the sulphate …

The anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) with sulfate controls the emission of the
greenhouse gas methane from the ocean floor. AOM is performed by microbial consortia of …
