Archaea catalyze iron-dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2016
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is crucial for controlling the emission of this potent greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. Nitrite-, nitrate-, and sulfate-dependent methane oxidation is well-documented, but AOM coupled to the reduction of oxidized ...

Metal-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane and the Sturtian deglaciation [PDF]

Nature Communications
The Sturtian and Marinoan glaciations shaped Neoproterozoic palaeoenvironmental evolution. While methane emission likely intensified the Marinoan greenhouse effect, its role during the Sturtian glaciation—coinciding with widespread iron formations (IFs ...

Active pathways of anaerobic methane oxidization in deep-sea cold seeps of the South China Sea

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is critical for controlling methane emissions from deep-sea cold seeps. Microbial groups associated with different AOM processes have been briefly investigated, but the AOM activities associated with the utilization ...

Anaerobic oxidation of methane in grassland soils used for cattle husbandry [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2012
While the importance of anaerobic methane oxidation has been reported for marine ecosystems, the role of this process in soils is still questionable.

Methanotrophs: Discoveries, Environmental Relevance, and a Perspective on Current and Future Applications

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Methane is the final product of the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. The conversion of organic matter to methane (methanogenesis) as a mechanism for energy conservation is exclusively attributed to the archaeal domain.

Model-based investigation of membrane biofilm reactors coupling anammox with nitrite/nitrate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation

Environment International, 2020
An innovative process coupling anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) with nitrite/nitrate-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-DAMO) in membrane biofilm reactors (MBfRs) has been developed to achieve high-level nitrogen removal from both sidestream (

Assessing the Effect of Humic Substances and Fe(III) as Potential Electron Acceptors for Anaerobic Methane Oxidation in a Marine Anoxic System

Microorganisms, 2020
Marine anaerobic methane oxidation (AOM) is generally assumed to be coupled to sulfate reduction, via a consortium of anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea (ANME) and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB).

The effects of organic matter and anaerobic oxidation of methane on the microbial sulfate reduction in cold seeps

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Cold seep sediments are dominated by intensive microbial sulfate reduction coupled to anaerobic oxidation of methane. However, the contribution proportion between this process and the role of organic matter has remained enigmatic.
