Generation of secondary microbial methane of high-rank coals: insights from the microbial community and carbon isotope

Secondary microbial methane could provide a valuable energy source if it were better understood. Although coal seam is an ideal environment for investigating secondary microbial methane, there are few studies to trace the secondary microbial methane of high-rank coals. Here, we collected co-produced...
