Microbial methanogenesis in the sulfate-reducing zone of surface sediments traversing the Peruvian margin
We studied the concurrence of methanogenesis and sulfate reduction in surface sediments (0–25 cm below sea floor) at six stations (70, 145, 253, 407, 990 and 1024 m) along the Peruvian margin (12° S). This oceanographic region is characterized by high carbon export to the seafloor creating an extens...
