• Intact polar lipids of anaerobic methanotrophic archaea and associated bacteria (2008, background): “ANME-1 are not directly affiliated with any of the major orders of methanogens (Hinrichs et al., 1999; Orphan et al., 2001b; Knittel et al., 2005).”
• Biodiversity of cold seep ecosystems along the European margins (2009, background): “In contrast to most other seafloor habitats, cold seep sediments host a high proportion of archaea, mainly methanotrophic and methanogenic Euryarchaeota and uncultured Crenarchaeota (Knittel et al., 2005).”
• Impact of natural oil and higher hydrocarbons on microbial diversity, distribution, and activity in Gulf of Mexico cold-seep sediments (2010, background): “Unlike some other cold-seep sediment surveys (Lloyd et al., 2006; Knittel et al., 2005; Mills et al., 2005), some 16S rRNA gene clones from these oily sediments grouped within clades of known methanogens (i.e. Methanogenium/Methanosaeta, Table 4), and thus it is also possible that ‘‘true’’…”
• Prokaryotic Populations and Activities in an Interbedded Coal Deposit, Including a Previously Deeply Buried Section (1.6–2.3 km) Above ∼ 150 Ma Basement Rock (2009, background): “2006 ), but the detected ANME-1 clones of putative anaerobic methane oxidising Archaea which are common in near surface marine sediments ( Orphan et al. 2001 ; Knittel et al.”
• Microbial Communities of Deep Marine Subsurface Sediments: Molecular and Cultivation Surveys (2006, background): “2003) and in surface sediments at methane seeps (Knittel et al. 2005).”
• Building the Biomarker Tree of Life (2005, background): “Currently they are classifi ed broadly among three new categories of Euryarchaeota, ANME-1, ANME-2, and ANME-3 (Boetius et al. 2000; Orphan et al. 2001, 2002; Knittel et al. 2005).”
• Diagnostic lipid biomarker and stable carbon isotope signatures of microbial communities mediating the anaerobic oxidation of methane with sulphate (2008, background): “At Hydrate Ridge, these authors detected comparably high contents of AOM specific GDGTs at a Calyptogena site where 80% of the ANME-2 cells belonged to the ANME-2c and 20% to the ANME-2a sub-cluster (Knittel et al., 2005).”
• Genomic studies of uncultivated archaea (2005, background): “Euryarchaeota species from the three different anaerobic methane oxidation (ANME) lineages are found within the microbial mats of cold seeps, sometimes at high abundance (up to 50% for ANME-1), and have various distributions according to depth and geographical locatio”
• The global methane cycle: recent advances in understanding the microbial processes involved. (2009, background): “Subsequently similar consortia were found with archaea of the clusters ANME-1, which is distantly related to Methanosarcinales and Methanomicrobiales (Orphan et al., 2002; Knittel et al., 2005), and ANME-3, which is related to the genera Methanococoides and Methanolobus within the Methanosarcinales ”
