Methanogen biomarkers in the discontinuous permafrost zone of stordalen, Sweden [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Permafrost peatlands are both an important source of atmospheric CH4 and a substantial sink for atmospheric CO2. Climate change can affect this balance, with higher temperatures resulting in the conversion of permafrost soils to wetlands and associated ...

Genomic Variation Influences Methanothermococcus Fitness in Marine Hydrothermal Systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Hydrogenotrophic methanogens are ubiquitous chemoautotrophic archaea inhabiting globally distributed deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems and associated subseafloor niches within the rocky subseafloor, yet little is known about how they adapt and ...

Technical note: Comparison of biomarker and molecular biological methods for estimating methanogen abundance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) has become a popular method for estimation of methanogen abundance in the ruminant digestive tract. However, there is no established method in terms of primer choice and quantification, which means that results are ...

Progress in the development of vaccines against rumen methanogens

open access: yesAnimal, 2013
Vaccination against rumen methanogens offers a practical approach to reduce methane emissions in livestock, particularly ruminants grazing on pasture. Although successful vaccination strategies have been reported for reducing the activity of the rumen ...

Response of methanogenic community and their activity to temperature rise in alpine swamp meadow at different water level of the permafrost wetland on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Wetlands are an important source of atmospheric methane (CH4) and are sensitive to global climate change. Alpine swamp meadows, accounting for ~50% of the natural wetlands on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, were considered one of the most important ecosystems.

METHANOGEN METABOLIC FLEXIBILITY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Methanogens are obligately anaerobic archaea which produce methane as a byproduct of their respiration. They are found across a wide diversity of environments and play an important role in cycling carbon in anaerobic spaces and the removal of harmful ...

Fecal Methanogens and Vertebrate Evolution [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1996
It has been assumed that the feeding habits of vertebrates predispose the variety of intestinal differentiations and the composition of the microbial biota living in their intestinal tracts. Consequently, the presence of methanogenic bacteria in the various differentiations of the large intestine and the foregut of herbivorous vertebrates had been ...

Isolation of a Novel Thermophilic Methanogen and the Evolutionary History of the Class Methanobacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Methanogens can produce methane in anaerobic environments via the methanogenesis pathway, and are regarded as one of the most ancient life forms on Earth.

Organic matter supply and bacterial community composition predict methanogenesis rates in temperate lake sediments

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, 2019
The objective of our study was to identify environmental conditions that structure lake sediment microbial communities and determine whether community composition explained inter‐lake variation in potential methanogenesis rates.

Structures of topoisomerase V in complex with DNA reveal unusual DNA-binding mode and novel relaxation mechanism

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Topoisomerase V is a unique topoisomerase that combines DNA repair and topoisomerase activities. The enzyme has an unusual arrangement, with a small topoisomerase domain followed by 12 tandem (HhH)2 domains, which include 3 AP lyase repair domains.
