An experimental study on short-term changes in the anaerobic oxidation of methane in response to varying methane and sulfate fluxes
A major role in regulation of global methane fluxes has been attributed to the process of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), which is performed by consortia of methanotrophic archaea and sulfate reducing bacteria. An important question remains how these energy limited, slow growing microorganisms...
