Funded Activity Summary

Iron-dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane process. This project aims to investigate the microbial process of iron-dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane. This process may be pervasive in Earth's aquatic systems, and possibly a major methane sink. This project will identify the organisms mediating this reaction, elucidate their metabolic pathways and characterise their ecophysiological properties. This project is expected to understand how this process regulates the atmospheric concentration of methane and more reliably predict global methane emissions in a changing climate. By addressing this key knowledge gap, this project will enhance our ability to predict global methane emissions in a changing climate.
