Artificial electron acceptors decouple archaeal methane oxidation from sulfate reduction
Abstract
Long-term partners uncoupled: Methane-munching archaea in marine sediments live closely coupled to sulfate-reducing bacteria in a syntrophic relationship. Surprisingly, however, these archaea do not necessarily need their bacterial partners to survive or grow. Scheller et al. performed stable isotope incubation experiments with deep-sea methane seep sediments (see the Perspective by Rotaru and Thamdrup). Several groups of methane-oxidizing archaea could use a range of soluble electron acceptors instead of coupling to active bacterial sulfate reduction. This decoupled pathway shows that methane-oxidizing archaea transfer electrons extracellularly and may even possess the capacity to respire iron and manganese minerals that are abundant in seafloor sediments.

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.
