Occurrence and expression of novel methyl-coenzyme M reductase gene (mcrA) variants in hot spring sediments
Abstract Recent discoveries have shown that the marker gene for anaerobic methane cycling (mcrA) is more widespread in the Archaea than previously thought. However, it remains unclear whether novel mcrA genes associated with the Bathyarchaeota and Verstraetearchaeota are distributed across diverse e...
