Activity of Ancillary Heterotrophic Community Members in Anaerobic Methane-Oxidizing Cultures

Consortia of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate-reducing bacteria mediate the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in marine sediments. However, even sediment-free cultures contain a substantial number of additional microorganisms not directly related to AOM. To track the heterotrop...
