Enrichment of a microbial community performing anaerobic oxidation of methane in a continuous high-pressure bioreactor

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to sulphate reduction (SR-AOM) prevents more than 90% of the oceanic methane emission to the atmosphere. In a previous study, we demonstrated that the high methane pressure (1, 4.5, and 8 MPa) s...
