Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is catalyzed by anaerobic methane‐oxidizing
archaea (ANME) via a reverse and modified methanogenesis pathway. Methanogens can …

Although the aceticlastic methanoarchaea Methanosarcina and Methanosaeta employ
different enzymes to catalyze the first step of aceticlastic methanogenesis, it has long been …

Anaerobic methanotrophs help regulate Earth's climate and may have been an important
part of the microbial ecosystem on the early Earth. The anaerobic oxidation of methane …

Background As autotrophic prokaryotes, cyanobacteria are ideal chassis organisms for
sustainable production of various useful compounds. The newly characterized …

Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, is both produced and consumed in anoxic coastal
sediments via microbial processes. Although the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is …

Background Energy from remote methane reserves is transformative; however, unintended
release of this potent greenhouse gas makes it imperative to convert methane efficiently into …

Consumption of methane by aerobic and anaerobic microbes governs the atmospheric level
of this powerful greenhouse gas. Whereas a biochemical understanding of aerobic …

Anaerobic methane oxidation in archaea is often presented to operate via a pathway of
“reverse methanogenesis”. However, if the cumulative reactions of a methanogen are run in …

Methane has long been known to be used as a carbon and energy source by some aerobic
alpha‐and delta‐proteobacteria. In these organisms the metabolism of methane starts with …

Acetate-utilizing methanogens are responsible for approximately two-thirds of the one billion
metric tons of methane produced annually in Earth's anaerobic environments …
