Great new article about the cool stuff we're finding (improbably) alive deep inside Earth's crust! Nice work, @laurapoppick.bsky.social at @quantamagazine.bsky.social www.quantamagazine.org/the-pursuit-...
The Pursuit of Life Where It Seems Unimaginable | Quanta Magazine
A decade ago, Karen Lloyd discovered single-celled microbes living beneath the seafloor. Now she studies how they can survive in Earth’s crust, possibly for hundreds or thousands of years, and push li...

Check this nice first first-author paper by Ning Hall—now out in Nature Geoscience! Our team had a blast supporting Ning on the isolation workflow, and a few of the standout Methanococcoides strains even trace back to our Danish waters. 🌊

Coastal methane emissions driven by aerotolerant methanogens using seaweed and seagrass metabolites - Nature Geoscience
Experiments suggest aerotolerant archaea produce methane in the surface layers of coastal sandy sediments and that this activity is driven by seaweed and seagrass metabolites.

TIR: Lapham et al (2024), arguing that anaerobic methane oxidation in sediments doesn't necessarily act as a "lid" preventing CH4 produced in deeper seds from escaping to seawater.

Methane leakage through the sulfate–methane transition zone of the Baltic seabed - Nature Geoscience
Inhibition of anaerobic methane oxidation in organic-rich marine sediments causes widespread methane leakage from the seabed, according to an analysis of sediment cores from the Baltic Sea.
