Measurement of microbial oxidation of methane in lake water
Abstract
A radiotracer method which measures rates of oxidation of methane to cell material, extracellular products, and carbon dioxide has been applied to two lakes and indicates that methane oxidation occurred in a narrow band where methane and oxygen occurred together in the water column. Oxidation rates of 1.0 µ M hr−1 were recorded in a eutrophic lake; rates in a meromictic lake reached 0.15 µ M hr−1. Usually a third of the carbon from oxidized methane was found in cell material and extracellular products and the rest was converted to carbon dioxide. This ratio was observed to change at very low oxygen concentrations.

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.
