Sulfur Isotope Biogeochemistry Controlled by Sulfate Reduction Activity in Cold Seep Sediments
Abstract Cold seeps are unique deep‐sea ecosystems that play an important role in marine biogeochemical cycles. However, the dynamics and regulation of sulfur isotope biogeochemistry in seep sediments remain unconstrained. We investigated the geochemical characteristics of active seep sites, including the content and stable isotope composition of ...

Diverse Cooccurring Metabolisms Support Sulfur and Methane Cycling in Wetland Surficial Sediments
Abstract The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of North America contains millions of small depressional wetlands with some of the highest methane (CH4) fluxes ever reported in terrestrial ecosystems. In saturated soils, two conventional paradigms are (a) methanogenesis is the final step in the redox ladder, occurring only after more thermodynamically ...

Metabolically active microbial communities in marine sediment under high-CO2 and low-pH extremes [PDF]
Sediment-hosting hydrothermal systems in the Okinawa Trough maintain a large amount of liquid, supercritical and hydrate phases of CO2 in the seabed. The emission of CO2 may critically impact the geochemical, geophysical and ecological characteristics of

Energy Gradients Structure Microbial Communities Across Sediment Horizons in Deep Marine Sediments of the South China Sea [PDF]
The deep marine subsurface is a heterogeneous environment in which the assembly of microbial communities is thought to be controlled by a combination of organic matter deposition, electron acceptor availability, and sedimentology.

Is early center-based child care associated with tantrums and unmanageable behavior over time up to school entry? [PDF]
Background. Existing research suggests that there is a relationship between greater exposure to center-based child care and child behavioral problems though the mechanism for the impact is unclear.

Metagenomic and geochemical characterization of pockmarked sediments overlaying the Troll petroleum reservoir in the North Sea [PDF]
Background Pockmarks (depressions in the seabed) have been discovered throughout the world’s oceans and are often related to hydrocarbon seepage. Although high concentrations of pockmarks are present in the seabed overlaying the Troll oil

Methane oxidation in permeable sediments at hydrocarbon seeps in the Santa Barbara Channel, California [PDF]
A shallow-water area in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, known collectively as the Coal Oil Point seep field, is one of the largest natural submarine hydrocarbon emission areas in the world.

Mechanisms of extracellular electron transfer in anaerobic methanotrophic archaea
Anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea are environmentally important, uncultivated microorganisms that oxidize the potent greenhouse gas methane. During methane oxidation, ANME archaea engage in extracellular electron transfer (EET) with other microbes,

The anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a key biogeochemical process regulating methane emission from marine sediments into the hydrosphere. AOM is largely mediated by consortia of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate-reducing bacteria
