Establishment and dynamics of methane-oxidizing microbial communities in marine sediments

Creator:

Klasek, Scott A.

Abstract:

Marine sediments are vast sources and reservoirs of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Most of this methane is anaerobically oxidized by archaea before it can reach the overlying ocean, though the efficiency of this process often depends on methane fluxes and mechanisms of fluid transport. Anaerobic methanotrophic archaea, or ANME,...
