Biotechnological aspects of sulfate reduction with methane as electron donor [PDF]
, 2010 Biological sulfate reduction can be used for the removal and recovery of oxidized sulfur compounds and metals from waste streams. However, the costs of conventional electron donors, like hydrogen and ethanol, limit the application possibilities.

Cooccurrence of Aerobic and Anaerobic Methane Oxidation in the Water Column of Lake Plußsee [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2005 ABSTRACT Dissolved methane was investigated in the water column of eutrophic Lake Plußsee and compared to temperature, oxygen, and sulfide profiles. Methane concentrations and δ- 13 C signatures indicated a zone of aerobic methane oxidation and additionally a zone of anaerobic methane oxidation in the ...

Microbial catabolic activities are naturally selected by metabolic energy harvest rate [PDF]
, 2015 The fundamental trade-off between yield and rate of energy harvest per unit of substrate has been largely discussed as a main characteristic for microbial established cooperation or competition.

Insights into the Ecological Roles and Evolution of Methyl-Coenzyme M Reductase-Containing Hot Spring Archaea [PDF]
, 2019 Several recent studies have shown the presence of genes for the key enzyme associated with archaeal methane/alkane metabolism, methyl-coenzyme M reductase (Mcr), in metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) divergent to existing archaeal lineages.

Aerobic methanotrophy within the pelagic redox-zone of the Gotland Deep (central Baltic Sea) [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2012 Water column samples taken in summer 2008 from the stratified Gotland Deep (central Baltic Sea) showed a strong gradient in dissolved methane concentrations from high values in the saline deep water (max.

Methane emission from hypersaline microbial mats: Lack of aerobic methane oxidation activity [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 1995 Methane emission was measured in intact cores of microbial mats taken from hypersaline Solar Lake (Sinai) and from salterns of the city of Eilat at salinities of 9% and 13%, respectively. The CH4 emission rates were 0.4–2.2 nmol cm−2 h−1 irrespectively of the incubation conditions, i.e.
