Microbiologists Martijn Wissink and @cuwelte.bsky.social, among others, are helping us understand how microorganisms regulate the methane balance. 🦠 🫧 The scientists have demonstrated how a methane-converting enzyme (MCR) works in detail.

Contrasting Methane, Sulfide and Nitrogen‐Loading Regimes in Bioreactors Shape Microbial Communities Originating From Methane‐Rich Coastal Sediment of the Stockholm Archipelago
In this study, microbial communities are enriched in brackish anoxic bioreactors with methane, sulfide, nitrate and ammonium. Novel diversity is identified and functionally analysed.
