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 …

Nitrogen (N) is a key element for life in the oceans. It controls primary productivity in many
parts of the global ocean, consequently playing a crucial role in the uptake of atmospheric …

Microbial methane oxidation is an important process to reduce the emission of the
greenhouse gas methane. Anaerobic microorganisms couple the oxidation of methane to …

The intertidal zone is an open ecosystem rich in organic matter and plays an important role
in global biogeochemical cycles. It was previously considered that methane was mainly …

Microbial denitrification is a crucial biological process for the treatment of nitrogen-polluted
water. Traditional denitrification process consumes external organic carbon leading to an …

Nitrate/nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-DAMO) is critical for mitigating
methane emission and returning reactive nitrogen to the atmosphere. The genomes of n …

Estuarine and coastal wetlands, which act as large sources of methane (CH 4) and undergo
substantial loading of anthropogenic nitrogen (N), provide ideal conditions for denitrifying …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) and nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane
oxidation (n-damo) are two of the most recent discoveries in the microbial nitrogen cycle. In …

Microbes play a crucial role in mediating the methane flux in deep-sea cold seep
ecosystems, where only methane-related microbes have been well studied, while the whole …

Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO), consisting of nitrite-dependent DAMO
(nitrite-DAMO) and nitrate-dependent DAMO (nitrate-DAMO), has recently been discovered …
