Biological methane production and accumulation under sulfate-rich conditions at Cape Lookout Bight, NC
IntroductionAnaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is hypothesized to occur through reverse hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis in marine sediments because sulfate reducers pull hydrogen concentrations so low that reverse hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis is exergonic. If true, hydrogenotrophic methanogenes...
