Archaea catalyze iron-dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Carbon and nitrogen cycles have been altered dramatically by human activities. Methane-producing (methanogenic) and methane-consuming (methanotrophic) microorganisms control the emission of methane, one of the most potent greenhouse gases, to the atmosphere. Earlier studies identified methanotrophic microorganisms that use methane as an electron donor and oxygen, sulfate, nitrite, and nitrate as electron acceptors. Previous research showed that methanotrophy coupled to the reduction of oxidized metals could be important in the environment. In the current paper, we identified archaea of the order Methanosarcinales , related to “ Candidatus Methanoperedens nitroreducens,” which couple the reduction of environmentally relevant particulate forms of iron and manganese to methane oxidation, filling one of the remaining lacunas in anaerobic methane oxidation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
