Microbial methane consumption reactions and their effect on methane distributions in freshwater and marine environments1

Year: 1977

Type: article

Abstract: A survey of reported methane distributions in sediments and the adjacent overlying water shows distinct differences between freshwater and marine environments. These differences may be explained by the activities of sulfate‐reducing bacteria and appear to be the result of differences in sulfate concentration between freshwater and marine environments.
