A correlation of anaerobic methane oxidizing archaea with geochemical gradients in coastal Californian marine sediments

The anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a globally important process estimated to consume over 384.2 teragrams of the greenhouse gas methane in sediments per year. At least three anaerobic methane oxidizing archaeal groups, ANME-1, -2, -3, which further partition into subgroups, have been implic...
