Electron transfer in syntrophic communities of anaerobic bacteria and archaea

Electron transfer in syntrophic communities of anaerobic bacteria and archaea

Anaerobic methane formation and oxidation are important processes in the global carbon cycle that are mediated by syntrophic communities of bacteria and archaea. Here, Fons Stams and Caroline Plugge review the interspecies electron transfer that is the key to growth in syntrophic communities. Interspecies electron transfer is a key process in methanogenic and sulphate-reducing environments. Bacteria and archaea that live in syntrophic communitie…

Technological avenues and market mechanisms to accelerate methane and nitrous oxide emissions reductions

Strategies targeting methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions are critical to meeting global climate targets. Existing literature estimates the…

Helping to refine estimates of global methane emissions

Helping to refine estimates of global methane emissions Study estimates that global fossil methane emissions are about 130 teragrams per year for the period 2003–2012, which closely matches the Global Carbon Project estimates, a network of scientists and institutions investigating greenhou
