Drivers of methane-cycling archaeal abundances, community structure, and catabolic pathways in continental margin sediments by Longhui Deng, Longhui Deng, Damian Bölsterli, Clemens Glombitza, Bo Barker Jørgensen, Hans Røy, Mark Alexander Lever, Mark Alexander Lever

“…We observe major changes in community structure that largely follow vertical gradients in sulfate concentrations and lateral gradients in organic carbon reactivity and content. While methane-cycling archaeal communities in bioturbated and sulfatic zones are dominated by known methyl-disproportionating Methanosarcinaceae and putatively CO2-reducing Methanomicrobiaceae, the communities change toward dominance of methane-oxidizing taxa (ANME-2a-b, ANME-2c, ANME-1a-b) in sulfate–methane transition zones (SMTZs). …”
