Relating Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Community and Process Function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Anaerobic digestion (AD) involves a consortium of microorganisms that convert substrates into biogas containing methane for renewable energy. The technology has suffered from the perception of being periodically unstable due to limited understanding of ...

Nitrite-driven anaerobic methane oxidation by oxygenic bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2010
Only three biological pathways are known to produce oxygen: photosynthesis, chlorate respiration and the detoxification of reactive oxygen species. Here we present evidence for a fourth pathway, possibly of considerable geochemical and evolutionary importance. The pathway was discovered after metagenomic sequencing of an enrichment culture that couples

Methyl-Coenzyme M Reductase and Its Post-translational Modifications

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
The methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) is a central enzyme in anaerobic microbial methane metabolism, which consists of methanogenesis and anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM).

Anaerobic oxidation has a minor effect on mitigating seafloor methane emissions from gas hydrate dissociation

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2022
Microbial anaerobic oxidation of methane may not substantially mitigate projected warming-induced emissions of methane from marine hydrate-bearing sediments, according to a coupled hydraulic-thermodynamic-geomechanical hydrate model.

Insights into the Ecological Roles and Evolution of Methyl-Coenzyme M Reductase-Containing Hot Spring Archaea [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Isolation, purification and characterization of an anaerobic methane oxidizer

open access: yes浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2002
An anaerobic bacterial isolate capable of oxidizing methane anaerobically was isolated from a rice soil developed from coastal saline soil and was named Strain AMOB3.

Planktonic and sediment-associated aerobic methanotrophs in two seep systems along the North American margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Methane vents are of significant geochemical and ecological importance. Notable progress has been made towards understanding anaerobic methane oxidation in marine sediments, however, the diversity and distribution of aerobic methanotrophs in the water ...

Microbial chromate reduction coupled with anaerobic oxidation of methane in a membrane biofilm reactor

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2019
It has been reported that microbial reduction of sulfate, nitrite/nitrate and iron/manganese could be coupled with anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), which plays a significant role in controlling methane emission from anoxic niches. However, little is

Assessing connectivity between an overlying aquifer and a coal seam gas resource using methane isotopes, dissolved organic carbon and tritium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Coal seam gas (CSG) production can have an impact on groundwater quality and quantity in adjacent or overlying aquifers. To assess this impact we need to determine the background groundwater chemistry and to map geological pathways of hydraulic ...

Different impacts of an electron shuttle on nitrate- and nitrite-dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane in paddy soil

open access: yesPlant, Soil and Environment, 2021
Quinones, redox-active functional groups in soil organic matter, can act as electron shuttles for microbial anaerobic transformation. Here, we used 13CH4 to trace 13C conversion (13C-CO2 + 13C-SOC) to investigate the influence of an artificial electron ...
