Methanogenesis in Marine Sediments

The anaerobic conversion of complex organic matter to CH4 is an essential link in the global carbon cycle. In freshwater anaerobic environments, the organic matter is decomposed to CH4 and CO2 by a microbial food chain that terminates with methanogens that produce methane primarily by reduction of t...
