Biogeochemical Activity of Methane-Related Microbial Communities in Bottom Sediments of Cold Seeps of the Laptev Sea

Biogeochemical Activity of Methane-Related Microbial Communities in Bottom Sediments of Cold Seeps of the Laptev Sea

Bottom sediments at methane discharge sites of the Laptev Sea shelf were investigated. The rates of microbial methanogenesis and methane oxidation were measured, and the communities responsible for these processes were analyzed. Methane content in the sediments varied from 0.9 to 37 µmol CH<sub&g...
