Methyl sulfides as intermediates in the anaerobic oxidation of methane

Environmental Microbiology, 2007
Summary While it is clear that microbial consortia containing Archaea and sulfate‐reducing bacteria (SRB) can mediate the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), the interplay between these microorganisms remains unknown.

Methane clumped isotope signature of anaerobic oxidation of methane

2022
<p>Microbial anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) significantly mitigates atmospheric methane emissions on Earth and represents a thermodynamically favorable metabolic strategy for astrobiological targets where methane has been detected. The bulk carbon and hydrogen isotope ratios produced by AOM have been used to probe the thermodynamic ...

Wastewater Opportunities for Denitrifying Anaerobic Methane Oxidation

Trends in Biotechnology, 2017
Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO) can concurrently reduce methane emissions and nitrogen levels in aquatic environments, but how useful is this process? We propose the use of DAMO-based technology as a tool for sustainably operating wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).

On the Problem of Anaerobic Methane Oxidation

Microbiology, 2004
To clarify the biological mechanism of anaerobic methane oxidation, experiments were performed with samples of the Black Sea anaerobic sediments and with the aerobic methane-oxidizing bacterium Methylomonas methanica strain 12. The inhibition–stimulation analysis did not allow an unambiguous conclusion to be made about a direct and independent role of ...

Habitats of Anaerobic Methane Oxidizers

2010
Anaerobic methanotrophic archaea of the ANME clades -1, -2, -3 are cosmopolitan and ubiquitous in all environments on Earth where sulfate and methane intersect. Closely related gene sequences of anaerobic methanotrophs are found in subsurface and surface sediments, terrestrial, and marine settings or benthic and pelagic habitats.

Enrichment of denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidizing microorganisms

Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2009
Summary The microorganisms responsible for anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) coupled to denitrification have not been clearly elucidated. Three recent publications suggested it can be achieved by a denitrifying bacterium with or without the involvement of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea.

[Contribution of anaerobic oxidation of methane to whole methane oxidation].

Huan jing ke xue= Huanjing kexue, 2006
The contribution of anaerobic methane oxidation to the whole methane oxidation is investigated by monitoring the activities of anaerobic and aerobic oxidation of methane in paddy soils composed mechanically of 0.02 mm soil granules, contained different water contents, and long-term fertilized organic manure or inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus and ...

Anaerobic methane oxidation on the Amazon shelf

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1995
Abstract Anaerobic methane oxidation on the Amazon shelf is strongly controlled by dynamic physical sedimentation processes. Rapidly accumulating, physically reworked deltaic sediments characteristic of much of the shelf typically support what appear to be low rates of steady state anaerobic methane oxidation at depths of 5–8 m below the sediment ...

Anaerobic methane oxidation and the formation of dolomite

Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2004
Abstract We examine the link between organic matter degradation, anaerobic methane oxidation (AMO), and sulfate depletion and explore how these processes potentially influence dolomitization. We determined rates and depths of AMO and dolomite formation for a variety of organic-rich sites along the west African Margin using data from Ocean Drilling ...
