The Impact of Methane on Microbial Communities at Marine Arctic Gas Hydrate Bearing Sediment

The Impact of Methane on Microbial Communities at Marine Arctic Gas Hydrate Bearing Sediment

Cold seeps are characterized by high biomass, which is supported by the microbial oxidation of the available methane by capable microorganisms. The carbon is subsequently transferred to higher trophic levels. South of Svalbard, five geological mounds shaped by the formation of methane gas hydrates,...
