Living at the extremes: extremophiles and the limits of life in a planetary context
Prokaryotic life has dominated most of the evolutionary history of our planet, evolving to
occupy virtually all available environmental niches. Extremophiles, especially those thriving …

Anthropogenic and environmental constraints on the microbial methane cycle in coastal sediments
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 …
