Anaerobic methane oxidation: exploring a new biological process

Objective

Anaerobic CH_4 oxidation is a poorly understood but vital part of the global carbon cycle. This proposal combines novel molecular biology/microbiology techniques to isolate and characteristics bacteria responsible for this unique process and provides important information for anaerobic biotechnological processes with wide applicability in the EC.
