Unexpected scarcity of ANME archaea in hydrocarbon seeps within Monterey Bay [PDF]
Marine hydrocarbon seeps typically harbor a relatively predictable microbiome, including anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea. Here, we sampled two cold seeps in Monterey Bay, CA – Clam Field and Extrovert Cliff – which have been known for decades but

Active Anaerobic Archaeal Methanotrophs in Recently Emerged Cold Seeps of Northern South China Sea
Cold seep ecosystems are developed from methane-rich fluids in organic rich continental slopes, which are the source of various dense microbial and faunal populations.

A long-term cultivation of an anaerobic methane-oxidizing microbial community from deep-sea methane-seep sediment using a continuous-flow bioreactor. [PDF]
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in marine sediments is an important global methane sink, but the physiological characteristics of AOM-associated microorganisms remain poorly understood.

Nonequilibrium Neutrino Oscillations in the Early Universe with an Inverted Neutrino-Mass Hierarchy
The annihilation of electron-positron pairs around one second after the big bang distorts the Fermi-Dirac spectrum of neutrino energies. We determine the distortions assuming neutrino mixing with an inverted neutrino-mass hierarchy.

Anaerobic oxidation of methane associated with sulfate reduction in a natural freshwater gas source [PDF]
The occurrence of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) and trace methane oxidation (TMO) was investigated in a freshwater natural gas source. Sediment samples were taken and analyzed for potential electron acceptors coupled to AOM.

Environmental control on anaerobic oxidation of methane in gassy sediments of Eckernförde Bay (German Baltic) [PDF]
We investigated the effect of seasonal environmental changes on the rate and distribution of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in Eckernforde Bay sediments (German Baltic Sea) and identified organisms that are likely to be involved in the process ...

Clumped isotopes as fingerprints of microbial methane production pathways in marine sediments
Abstract Microbial methanogenesis in marine sediments produces significant amounts of methane from various substrates; however, identifying the active pathways in situ remains challenging. While the bulk and clumped isotopic signatures of methane from different pathways have been studied in pure cultures, these are difficult to compare with complex ...

Dynamics of Iron‐Bound Organic Carbon Across Different Development Stages of Marine Cold Seeps
Abstract Marine cold seeps, where subsurface methane‐rich fluids discharge at seafloors, are “oases of life” that sustain highly active organic carbon (OC) and iron (Fe) cycling along the global continental margins. However, the interactions between Fe and OC and their impacts on the development and long‐term carbon preservation of cold seep ecosystems

Isolation and characterization of a thermophilic, obligately anaerobic and heterotrophic marine Chloroflexi bacterium from a Chloroflexi dominated microbial community associated with a Japanese shallow hydrothermal system, and proposal for Thermomarinilinea lacunofontalis gen. nov., sp. nov. [PDF]
A novel marine thermophilic and heterotrophic Anaerolineae bacterium in the phylum Chloroflexi, strain SW7T, was isolated from an in situ colonization system deployed in the main hydrothermal vent of the Taketomi submarine hot spring field located on the

Artificial electron acceptors decouple archaeal methane oxidation from sulfate reduction [PDF]
The oxidation of methane with sulfate is an important microbial metabolism in the global carbon cycle. In marine methane seeps, this process is mediated by consortia of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) that live in syntrophy with sulfate-reducing ...
