Article Synopsis
- Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) plays a key role in carbon cycling by both acting as a methane sink and promoting the formation of carbonate nodules in methane seep sediments.
- The study examined the microbial diversity in carbonate nodules and surrounding sediments, finding common methanotrophic archaea and sulfate-reducing bacteria in both.
- Results suggest that some carbonate nodules formed in place, reflecting local microbial communities, while others may have been moved or created under past environmental conditions, providing insights into their formation processes.
