The gas hydrate-bearing structure-mud volcano Kedr-1 (Lake Baikal, southern basin)-is located near the coal-bearing sediments of the Tankhoy formation of Oligocene-Miocene age and can be an ideal source of gas-saturated fluid. A significant amount of siderite minerals (FeCO ) were collected from sediments at depths ranging from 0.5 to 327 cm below the lake floor (cmblf).

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on the microbiomes of benthic invertebrates in Lake Baikal's methane seeps and low-temperature vents.
  • Microscopy revealed the presence of microorganisms in the intestines of oligochaetes, with the greatest microbial diversity identified in nematodes, encompassing 11 different phyla.
  • Detected prokaryotes include methanogens and nitrifiers, with significant similarities to symbiotic bacteria found in insects, and there were also common organisms from the lake's water and sediments in the invertebrates' microbiomes.

We reported the characteristics of hydrate-bound hydrocarbons in lake-bottom sediments at the Kedr mud volcano in Lake Baikal. Twenty hydrate-bearing sediment cores were retrieved, and methane-stable isotopes of hydrate-bound gases (δC and δH of - 47.8‰ to - 44.
