Since the application of molecular methods, culture-independent methods (CIMs) have been
developed to study microbial communities from various environments. In the past 20 years …

Our knowledge of physical, chemical, geological and biological processes affecting
methane in the ocean and in underlying sediments is expanding at a rapid pace. On first …

Marine hydrocarbon seeps supply oil and gas to microorganisms in sediments and overlying
water. We used stable isotope probing (SIP) to identify aerobic bacteria oxidizing gaseous …

Emission of the greenhouse gas methane from the seabed is globally controlled by marine
aerobic and anaerobic methanotrophs gaining energy via methane oxidation. However, the …

CH4 is known to be generated during the most active phase of composting, even in well‐
managed composting piles. In this manuscript, we studied the influence of biochar on the …

Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) contain the largest pools of oceanic methane but its origin
and fate are poorly understood. High-resolution (< 15 m) water column profiles revealed a …

Pockmarks are important “pumps”, which are believed to play a significant role in the global
methane cycling and harboring a unique assemblage of very diverse prokaryotes. This study …

Previous studies reported methane gas (CH 4) reservoirs in Saco do Mamanguá ría marine
sediments (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Knowing that methane-related microbiomes are still …

Diverse planktonic microorganisms play a crucial role in mediating methane flux from the
ocean to the atmosphere. The distribution and composition of the marine methanotroph …

Aerobic methane oxidation (AMO) is one of the primary biologic pathways regulating the
amount of methane (CH4) released into the environment. AMO acts as a sink of CH4 …
