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.

Trace metal requirements for microbial enzymes involved in the production and consumption of methane and nitrous oxide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Fluxes of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere are heavily influenced by microbiological activity. Microbial enzymes involved in the production and consumption of greenhouse gases often contain metal cofactors.

Biochar-Mediated Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Anaerobic Oxidization of Methane in a Minerotrophic Peatland: Enrichment of Nitrite-Dependent Methane-Oxidizing Bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesApplied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012
ABSTRACT The importance of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) as a methane sink in freshwater systems is largely unexplored, particularly in peat ecosystems. Nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-damo) was recently discovered and reported to be catalyzed by the bacterium “ Candidatus ...

Enzymes involved in the anaerobic oxidation of n-alkanes: from methane to long-chain paraffins

open access: yesFrontiers 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
