Zhang C, Fang Y, Yin X, Lai H, Kuang Z, Zhang T, et al.
Microbiome . 2023 Mar; 11(1):37. PMID: 36864529
Background: Gas hydrate-bearing subseafloor sediments harbor a large number of microorganisms. Within these sediments, organic matter and upward-migrating methane are important carbon and energy sources fueling a light-independent biosphere. However,...

Miksch S, Meiners M, Meyerdierks A, Probandt D, Wegener G, Titschack J, et al.
ISME Commun . 2023 Feb; 1(1):29. PMID: 36739458
Coastal sands are biocatalytic filters for dissolved and particulate organic matter of marine and terrestrial origin, thus, acting as centers of organic matter transformation. At high temporal resolution, we accessed...

Benito Merino D, Zehnle H, Teske A, Wegener G
Front Microbiol . 2022 Oct; 13:988871. PMID: 36212815
In seafloor sediments, the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) consumes most of the methane formed in anoxic layers, preventing this greenhouse gas from reaching the water column and finally the...

Wegener G, Laso-Perez R, Orphan V, Boetius A
Annu Rev Microbiol . 2022 Aug; 76:553-577. PMID: 35917471
Alkanes are saturated apolar hydrocarbons that range from their simplest form, methane, to high-molecular-weight compounds. Although alkanes were once considered biologically recalcitrant under anaerobic conditions, microbiological investigations have now identified...

Zhu Q, Wegener G, Hinrichs K, Elvert M
Front Microbiol . 2022 Jun; 13:912299. PMID: 35722308
Consortia of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate-reducing bacteria mediate the anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in marine sediments. However, even sediment-free cultures contain a substantial number of additional microorganisms...

Chadwick G, Skennerton C, Laso-Perez R, Leu A, Speth D, Yu H, et al.
PLoS Biol . 2022 Jan; 20(1):e3001508. PMID: 34986141
The anaerobic oxidation of methane coupled to sulfate reduction is a microbially mediated process requiring a syntrophic partnership between anaerobic methanotrophic (ANME) archaea and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Based on genome...

Zhou Z, Zhang C, Liu P, Fu L, Laso-Perez R, Yang L, et al.
Nature . 2021 Dec; 601(7892):257-262. PMID: 34937940
The methanogenic degradation of oil hydrocarbons can proceed through syntrophic partnerships of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria and methanogenic archaea. However, recent culture-independent studies have suggested that the archaeon 'Candidatus Methanoliparum' alone can...

Allen K, Wegener G, Sublett Jr D, Bodnar R, Feng X, Wendt J, et al.
Sci Adv . 2021 Oct; 7(44):eabg9739. PMID: 34705502
Elemental carbon exists in different structural forms including graphite, diamond, fullerenes, and amorphous carbon. In nature, these materials are produced through abiotic chemical processes under high temperature and pressure but...

Ramirez G, Mara P, Sehein T, Wegener G, Chambers C, Joye S, et al.
PLoS One . 2021 Sep; 16(9):e0256321. PMID: 34495995
The flanking regions of Guaymas Basin, a young marginal rift basin located in the Gulf of California, are covered with thick sediment layers that are hydrothermally altered due to magmatic...

Engelen B, Nguyen T, Heyerhoff B, Kalenborn S, Sydow K, Tabai H, et al.
Front Microbiol . 2021 Aug; 12:710881. PMID: 34335545
The surficial hydrothermal sediments of Guaymas Basin harbor complex microbial communities where oxidative and reductive nitrogen, sulfur, and carbon-cycling populations and processes overlap and coexist. Here, we resolve microbial community...
