Methane production from coal by a single methanogen
Abstract
Microbes make methane from coal: Methane associated with coal beds is an important global resource of natural gas. Much of the methane in coal comes from microbial methanogenesis. Mayumi et al. characterized a strain of Methermicoccus shengliensis that, unexpectedly, is capable of making methane from the dozens of methoxylated aromatic compounds found in a variety of coal types (see the Perspective by Welte). Isotope tracer experiments showed that this organism could also incorporate carbon dioxide into methane. Science , this issue p. 222 ; see also p. 184

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.
