AbstractAnaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) by methanotrophic archaea is an important sink of this greenhouse gas in marine sediments. However, evidence for AOM in freshwater habitats is rare, and little is known about the pathways, electron acceptors and microbes involved. Here, we show that AOM occurs in anoxic sediments of a lake in southern Switzerland (Lake Cadagno). Combined AOM-rate and 16S rRNA gene-sequencing data suggest thatCandidatusMethanoperedens archaea are responsible for the observed methane oxidation. Members of the Methanoperedenaceae family were previously reported to conduct nitrate- or iron/manganese-dependent AOM. However, we demonstrate for the first time that the methanotrophic archaea do not necessarily rely upon these oxidants as terminal electron acceptors directly, but mainly perform canonical sulfate-dependent AOM, which under sulfate-starved conditions can be supported by metal (Mn, Fe) oxides through oxidation of reduced sulfur species to sulfate. The correspondence of high abundances of Desulfobulbaceae andCandidatusMethanoperedens at the same sediment depth confirm the interdependence of anaerobic methane-oxidizing archaea and sulfate-reducing bacteria. The relatively high abundance and widespread distribution ofCandidatusMethanoperedens in lake sediments highlight their potentially important role in mitigating methane emissions from terrestrial freshwater environments to the atmosphere, analogous to ANME-1, -2 and -3 in marine settings.

Freshwater Habitats

ABSTRACTAnaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) with sulfate as terminal electron acceptor has been reported for various environments, including freshwater habitats, and also, nitrate and nitrite were recently shown to act as electron acceptors for methane oxidation in eutrophic freshwater habitats. Radiotracer experiments with sediment material of Lake Constance, an oligotrophic freshwater lake, were performed to follow14CO2formation from14CH4in sediment incubations in the presence of different electron acceptors, namely, nitrate, nitrite, sulfate, or oxygen. Whereas14CO2formation without and with sulfate addition was negligible, addition of nitrate increased14CO2formation significantly, suggesting that AOM could be coupled to denitrification. Nonetheless, denitrification-dependent AOM rates remained at least 1 order of magnitude lower than rates of aerobic methane oxidation. Using molecular techniques, putative denitrifying methanotrophs belonging to the NC10 phylum were detected on the basis of thepmoAand 16S rRNA gene sequences. These findings show that sulfate-dependent AOM was insignificant in Lake constant sediments. However, AOM can also be coupled to denitrification in this oligotrophic freshwater habitat, providing first indications that this might be a widespread process that plays an important role in mitigating methane emissions.

The Impact

The anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is an important sink of methane that plays a significant role in global warming. However, evidence for the AOM in freshwater habitats is rare, especially in dam and weir (small-scale dam) reservoirs. Here, the AOM process was examined in freshwater sediments of a small-scale dam reservoir located in Rzeszów, SE Poland. The AOM rate was determined in the main experiment with the addition of the 13CH4 isotope marker (He+13CH4). Sediments were collected three times: in spring (in May, 15 °C), in summer (in July, 20 °C) and in autumn (in September, 10 °C). Further analysis considers the impact on AOM rate of potential electron acceptors present in pore-water (NO2−, NO3−, SO42−, and Fe3+ ions). The work suggests that an AOM process does take place in the studied reservoir sediments, with this evidenced by the presence in the headspace of an increased 13CO2 concentration deemed to derive from 13CH4 oxidation. Rates of AOM noted were of 0.36–1.42 nmol·g−1·h−1, with the most intensive oxidation in each sediment layer occurring at 20 °C. While none of the potential electron acceptors considered individually were found to have had a statistically significant influence on the AOM rate, their significance to the dynamics of the AOM process was not precluded.

Anoxic Environments

<p>Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that is produced naturally via microbial processes in anoxic environments (i.e. marine and lake sediments). The release of methane to the atmosphere from sediments is controlled by its aerobic and anaerobic oxidation. Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) consumes up to 90% of the produced methane in marine sediments and over half of the produced methane in freshwater sediments. The most common electron acceptor in marine sediments for AOM is sulfate, however, in freshwater lake sediments, where sulfate concentrations are low, other electron acceptors can take its place (i.e. iron/manganese/nitrate). In lake Kinneret (Israel), iron-coupled AOM was evident by in-situ sedimentary profiles and in fresh sediment slurry incubations. Here we present geochemical and molecular analyses results of slurry experiments of long-term incubated lake Kinneret sediments with labeled <sup>13</sup>C-methane, different potential electron acceptors and a few inhibitors. These experiments are part of an ongoing research to characterize the AOM processes in lake sediments, and indicate another possible type of AOM that has evolved in the long-term incubated lake sediments.</p>

Forms Of Iron

Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is one of the major processes of oxidizing methane in marine sediments. Up to now, extensive studies about AOM coupled to sulfate reduction have been conducted because SO42− is the most abundant electron acceptor in seawater and shallow marine sediments. However, other terminal electron acceptors of AOM, such as NO3−, NO2−, Mn(IV), Fe(III), are more energetically favorable than SO42−. Iron oxides, part of the major components in deep marine sediments, might play a significant role as an electron acceptor in the AOM process, mainly below the sulfate–methane interface, mediated by physiologically related microorganisms. Iron-coupled AOM is possibly the dominant non-sulfate-dependent AOM process to consume methane in marine ecosystems. In this review, the conditions for iron-coupled AOM are summarized, and the forms of iron oxides as electron acceptors and the microbial mechanisms are discussed.
