Comparative Genomics and Proteomic Analysis of Assimilatory Sulfate Reduction Pathways in Anaerobic Methanotrophic Archaea
Sulfate is the predominant electron acceptor for anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) in marine sediments.This process is carried out by a syntrophic consortium of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) and sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) through an energy conservation mechanism that is still poorly s2720 understood.It was previously hypothesized
