Aerobic methanotrophic communities at the Red Sea brine-seawater interface

Aerobic methanotrophic communities at the Red Sea brine-seawater interface

The central rift of the Red Sea contains 25 brine pools with different physicochemical conditions, dictating the diversity and abundance of the microbial community. Three of these pools, the Atlantis II, Kebrit and Discovery Deeps, are uniquely characterized by a high concentration of hydrocarbons....
