The potential positive feedback between global aquatic deoxygenation and methane (CH) emission emphasizes the importance of understanding CH cycling under O-limited conditions. Increasing observations for aerobic CH-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) under anoxia have updated the prevailing paradigm that MOB are O-dependent; thus, clarification on the metabolic mechanisms of MOB under anoxia is critical and timely. Here, we mapped the global distribution of MOB under anoxic aquatic zones and summarized four underlying metabolic strategies for MOB under anoxia: (a) forming a consortium with oxygenic microorganisms; (b) self-generation/storage of O by MOB; (c) forming a consortium with non-oxygenic heterotrophic bacteria that use other electron acceptors; and (d) utilizing alternative electron acceptors other than O. Finally, we proposed directions for future research. This study calls for improved understanding of MOB under anoxia, and underscores the importance of this overlooked CH sink amidst global aquatic deoxygenation.

In coastal waters, methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) can form a methane biofilter and mitigate methane emissions. The metabolism of these MOBs is versatile, and the resilience to changing oxygen concentrations is potentially high. It is still unclear how seasonal changes in oxygen availability and water column chemistry affect the functioning of the methane biofilter and MOB community composition.

Conventional aerobic CH-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) are frequently detected in anoxic environments, but their survival strategy and ecological contribution are still enigmatic. Here we explore the role of MOB in enrichment cultures under O gradients and an iron-rich lake sediment in situ by combining microbiological and geochemical techniques. We found that enriched MOB consortium used ferric oxides as alternative electron acceptors for oxidizing CH with the help of riboflavin when O was unavailable.

Wood frogs () display well-developed anoxia tolerance as one component of their capacity to endure prolonged whole-body freezing during the winter months. Under anoxic conditions, multiple cellular responses are triggered to efficiently cope with stress by suppressing gene transcription and promoting activation of mechanisms that support cell survival. Activation of the Hippo signaling pathway initiates a cascade of protein kinase reactions that end with phosphorylation of YAP protein.

Olfactory dysfunction is commonly observed in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is related to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH). OSA patients exhibit alterations in discrimination, identification and odor detection threshold. These olfactory functions strongly rely on neuronal processing within the main olfactory bulb (MOB).
