Description

Methane seepages typically harbor communities of anaerobic methane oxidizers (ANME), however knowledge about fine-scale vertical variation of ANME in response to geochemical gradients is limited. Here we investigate microbial communities in sediments at two different locations at thge Nyegga field; (1) a push-core below a white microbial mat in the G11 pockmark, and (2) a Gravity-core at CNO3. Both experiments were analysed using 16S rRNA gene tag pyrosequencing and real time quantitative PCR.
