Methane Cycling: Microbial Transformations

This lecture explores the microbial processes involved in methane cycling, focusing on methanogens and their role in producing methane. It covers the different types of methanogenesis, the enzymes and coenzymes involved, as well as the significance of methanogens in the carbon cycle. Additionally, it delves into the mechanisms of methane oxidation and the interactions between methanotrophs and sulfate-reducing bacteria in anaerobic environments.
