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 …

Methylotrophy is a field of study dealing with microorganisms capable of utilization of
compounds devoid of carbon–carbon bonds (C1 compounds). In this review, we highlight …

Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) have substantial effects on the global ecology and
biogeochemical processes of marine microbes. However, the diversity and activity of OMZ …

In the ocean's major oxygen minimum zones (OMZs), oxygen is effectively absent from sea
water and life is dominated by microorganisms that use chemicals other than oxygen for …

Maritime transportation is recognized to have advantages in terms of environmental impact
compared to other forms of transportation. However, an increment in traffic volumes will also …

Microbial production of methane is an important terminal metabolic process during organic
matter degradation in marine sediments. It is generally acknowledged that hydrogenotrophic …

Global change influences biogeochemical cycles within and between environmental
compartments (ie, the cryosphere, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and the atmosphere) …

The fate of the enormous amount of reactive nitrogen released to the environment by human
activities in India is unknown. Here we show occurrence of seasonal stratification and …

We investigated methane oxidation in the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the eastern
tropical North Pacific (ETNP) off central Mexico. Methane concentrations in the anoxic core …

Methane is estimated to have contributed 20% of postindustrial global warming.
Methanotrophs oxidize methane and curb methane emissions into the atmosphere …
