Thermophilic anaerobic oxidation of methane by marine microbial consortia [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2011 AbstractThe anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) with sulfate controls the emission of the greenhouse gas methane from the ocean floor. AOM is performed by microbial consortia of archaea (ANME) associated with partners related to sulfate-reducing bacteria.

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

Biochar-Mediated Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane
Environmental Science & Technology, 2019 Biochar was recently identified as an effective soil amendment for CH4 capture. Corresponding mechanisms are currently recognized to be from physical properties of biochar, providing a favorable growth environment for aerobic methanotrophs which perform aerobic methane (CH4) oxidation.

Methyl (Alkyl)-Coenzyme M Reductases: Nickel F-430-Containing Enzymes Involved in Anaerobic Methane Formation and in Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane or of Short Chain Alkanes [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2019 Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes the methane-forming step in methanogenic archaea. The active enzyme harbors the nickel(I) hydrocorphin coenzyme F-430 as a prosthetic group and catalyzes the reversible reduction of methyl-coenzyme M (CH3–S-CoM)

Carbonate formation in salt dome cap rocks by microbial anaerobic oxidation of methane [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2019 Major hydrocarbon accumulations occur in traps associated with salt domes. Whereas some of these hydrocarbons remain to be extracted for economic use, significant amounts have degraded in the subsurface, yielding mineral precipitates as byproducts.

A biochemical framework for anaerobic oxidation of methane driven by Fe(III)-dependent respiration [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2018 Consumption of methane by aerobic and anaerobic microbes governs the atmospheric level of this powerful greenhouse gas. Whereas a biochemical understanding of aerobic methanotrophy is well developed, a mechanistic understanding of anaerobic methanotrophy

Anaerobic oxidation of methane mediated by microbial extracellular respiration
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2021 Summary Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) can be microbially mediated by the reduction of different terminal electron acceptors. AOM coupled to reduction of sulfate, manganese/iron oxides, humic substances, selenate, arsenic and other artificial extracellular electron acceptors are recognized as processes associated with microbial ...

Environment 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

Anaerobic oxidation of methane in hypersaline cold seep sediments [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2012 Life in hypersaline environments is typically limited by bioenergetic constraints. Microbial activity at the thermodynamic edge, such as the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) coupled to sulphate reduction (SR), is thus unlikely to thrive in these environments.
