Among predicted impacts of climate change in the Arctic are greater thaw depth and shifts in vegetation patterns and hydrology that are likely to increase organic carbon and nutrient loading to lakes.

The discovery and genomic characterization of a new group of extreme halophilic methanogens sheds light on the origin of methanogenesis and the evolution of the Haloarchaea. Figure 1: The evolution of ...

Microbiologists show that methanogenic archaea do not always need to form methane to survive. It is possible to bypass methanogenesis with the seemingly simpler and more environmentally friendly ...
