Molecular and stable isotopic evidence for the occurrence of nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane-oxidizing bacteria in the mangrove sediment of Zhangjiang Estuary, China

Nitrite-dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n-damo), which is mediated by “ Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera-like” bacteria, is unique in linking the carbon and nitrogen cycles. However, the niche and activity of n-damo bacteria in the mangrove ecosystem have not been confirmed. Here, we repor...
