Methane Seep Carbonates Host Distinct, Diverse, and Dynamic Microbial Assemblages
ABSTRACT Marine methane seeps are globally distributed geologic features in which reduced fluids, including methane, are advected upward from the subsurface. As a result of alkalinity generation during sulfate-coupled methane oxidation, authigenic carbonates form slabs, nodules, and extensive paveme...
