摘要: The anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) with sulfate as terminal electron acceptor is mediated by consortia of methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate‐reducing bacteria (SRB). Whereas three clades of ANME have been repeatedly studied with respect to phylogeny, key genes and genomic capabilities, little is known about their sulfate‐reducing partner. In order to identify the partner of anaerobic methanotrophs of the ANME‐2 clade, bacterial 16S rRNA gene libraries were constructed from cultures highly enriched for ANME …
