Enzymes involved in the anaerobic oxidation of n-alkanes: from methane to long-chain paraffins
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Anaerobic microorganisms play key roles in the biogeochemical cycling of methane and non-methane alkanes. To date, there appear to be at least three proposed mechanisms of anaerobic methane oxidation (AOM). The first pathway is mediated by consortia of

Plant, 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 ...

Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane: Progress with an Unknown Process [PDF]
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2009 Methane is the most abundant hydrocarbon in the atmosphere, and it is an important greenhouse gas, which has so far contributed an estimated 20% of postindustrial global warming. A great deal of biogeochemical research has focused on the causes and effects of the variation in global fluxes of methane throughout earth's history, but the underlying ...

Artificial electron acceptors decouple archaeal methane oxidation from sulfate reduction [PDF]
, 2016 The oxidation of methane with sulfate is an important microbial metabolism in the global carbon cycle. In marine methane seeps, this process is mediated by consortia of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) that live in syntrophy with sulfate-reducing ...

Anaerobic Methane Oxidation in a Landfill-Leachate Plume [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2002 The alluvial aquifer adjacent to Norman Landfill, OK, provides an excellent natural laboratory for the study of anaerobic processes impacting landfill-leachate contaminated aquifers. We collected groundwaters from a transect of seven multilevel wells ranging in depth from 1.3 to 11 m that were oriented parallel to the flow path.

Anaerobic oxidation of methane: an “active” microbial process [PDF]
MicrobiologyOpen, 2014 AbstractThe anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is an important sink of methane that plays a significant role in global warming. AOM was first found to be coupled with sulfate reduction and mediated by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate‐reducing bacteria (SRB).
