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.

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

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

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 ...

A metagenomic study of methanotrophic microorganisms in Coal Oil Point seep sediments

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2011
Background Methane oxidizing prokaryotes in marine sediments are believed to function as a methane filter reducing the oceanic contribution to the global methane emission.

Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane: Progress with an Unknown Process [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual 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 ...

Methane-yielding microbial communities processing lactate-rich substrates: a piece of the anaerobic digestion puzzle

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Background Anaerobic digestion, whose final products are methane and carbon dioxide, ensures energy flow and circulation of matter in ecosystems. This naturally occurring process is used for the production of renewable energy from biomass.

Anaerobic Methane Oxidation in a Landfill-Leachate Plume [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental 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.

Measuring Local Exothermic Effects During the Oxidative Coupling of Methane Using Operando Luminescence Thermometry

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Operando luminescence thermometry shows that the local catalyst temperature can exceed the set oven temperature by almost 250°C during the exothermic oxidative coupling of methane process. We demonstrate how the reactor dimensions, catalyst grain size, and reactant feed mixture affect the local temperature.

A Critical Look at the Combined Use of Sulfur and Oxygen Isotopes to Study Microbial Metabolisms in Methane-Rich Environments

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Separating the contributions of anaerobic oxidation of methane and organoclastic sulfate reduction in the overall sedimentary sulfur cycle of marine sediments has benefited from advances in isotope biogeochemistry.
