Vertical profiles of sediment methanogenic potential and communities in two plateau freshwater lakes [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 Microbial methanogenesis in sediment plays a crucial role in CH4 emission from freshwater lake ecosystems. However, knowledge of the layer-depth-related changes of methanogen community structure and activities in freshwater lake sediment is still limited.

H2-Independent Growth of the Hydrogenotrophic Methanogen
mBio, 2013 Hydrogenotrophic methanogenic Archaea require reduced ferredoxin as an anaplerotic source of electrons for methanogenesis. H2 oxidation by the hydrogenase Eha provides these electrons, consistent with an H2 requirement for growth.
