Stratified community responses to methane and sulfate supplies in mud volcano deposits: insights from an in vitro experiment.

Numerous studies on marine prokaryotic communities have postulated that a process of anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) coupled with sulfate reduction (SR) is the main methane sink in the world's oceans. AOM has also been reported in the deep biosphere. But the responses of the primary microb...
