Methane is one of the most important greenhouse gases on Earth and holds an important
place in the global carbon cycle. Archaea are the only organisms that use methanogenesis …

The anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to sulfate reduction is a microbially mediated
process requiring a syntrophic partnership between anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) …

The methanogenic degradation of oil hydrocarbons can proceed through syntrophic
partnerships of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria and methanogenic archaea,–. However …

Methanogenic archaea are major producers of methane, a potent greenhouse gas and
biofuel, and are widespread in diverse environments, including the animal gut. The …

Anaerobic methane oxidation exerts a key control on greenhouse gas emissions, yet factors
that modulate the activity of microorganisms performing this function remain poorly …

Alkanes are saturated apolar hydrocarbons that range from their simplest form, methane, to
high-molecular-weight compounds. Although alkanes were once considered biologically …

Marine coastlines colonized by seagrasses are a net source of methane to the atmosphere.
However, methane emissions from these environments are still poorly constrained, and the …

Over recent decades, hydrocarbon concentrations have been augmented in soil and water,
mainly derived from accidents or operations that input crude oil and petroleum into the …

At marine cold seeps, gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons migrate from deep subsurface
origins to the sediment-water interface. Cold seep sediments are known to host …

Background When deep-sea hydrothermal fluids mix with cold oxygenated fluids, minerals
precipitate out of solution and form hydrothermal deposits. These actively venting deep-sea …
