Methane cold seeps as biological oases in the high‐Arctic deep sea (2018, background): “…symbionts) or indirectly (trophic relationships) on anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) and sulfate reduction as an alternative energy source, instead of, or in addition to, photoautotrophy (Levin and Michener 2002; Boetius and Suess 2004; Levin 2005; Niemann et al. 2013; Thurber et al. 2013).”
Feast and famine — microbial life in the deep-sea bed (2007, background): “These chemosynthetic ecosystems are usually found on continental margins at depths of 200–3,500 m and are characterized by the venting of hydrocarbons at fluid-flow velocities of a few tens of centimetres to a few metres per yea”
Efficiency of the benthic filter: Biological control of the emission of dissolved methane from sediments containing shallow gas hydrates at Hydrate Ridge (2006, background): “mats. Boetius and Suess [2004] postulate that less than 50% of the total methane escapes from sediments covered with bacterial mats and <15% from clam fields.”
