Article Synopsis
- Trace elements play a crucial role in the microbial degradation of organic matter and methanogenesis, serving as essential cofactors for enzymes in metabolic pathways.
- This study analyzes the impact of specific trace elements (Co, Cu, and Mo) on methane production in microbial communities from coalbed methane wells in Wyoming, finding that these elements significantly enhance both methane output and the diversity of the active methanogenic community.
- High-throughput sequencing revealed that adding trace elements leads to notable shifts in microbial community composition and increased activity among vital bacterial groups, emphasizing the importance of trace elements in subsurface coalbed methane production.
