Genomic and enzymatic evidence of acetogenesis by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea

Ocean cold seeps are poorly understood relative to related systems like hydrothermal vents. Here the authors use high pressure bioreactors and microbial communities from a cold seep mud volcano and find a previously missing step of methane conversion to acetate that likely fuels heterotrophic commun...
