    • Effects of low oxygen concentrations on aerobic methane oxidation in seasonally hypoxic coastal waters 

      Steinle, Lea; Maltby, Johanna; Treude, Tina; Kock, Annette; Bange, Hermann W.; Engbersen, Nadine; Zopfi, Jakob; Lehmann, Moritz F.; Niemann, Helge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-03-29)
      Coastal seas may account for more than 75 % of global oceanic methane emissions. There, methane is mainly produced microbially in anoxic sediments from which it can escape to the overlying water column. Aerobic methane oxidation (MOx) in the water column acts as a biological filter, reducing the amount of methane that eventually evades to the atmosphere. The efficiency of the MOx filter is potentially ...

    • Life on the edge: Active microbial communities in the Kryos MgCl2-brine basin at very low water activity 

      Steinle, Lea; Knittel, Katrin; Felber, Nicole; Casalino, Claudia; de Lange, Gert; Tessarolo, Chiara; Stadnitskaia, Alina; Sinninghe Damsté, Jaap S.; Zopfi, Jakob; Lehmann, Moritz F.; Treude, Tina (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-17)
      The Kryos Basin is a deep-sea hypersaline anoxic basin (DHAB) located in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (34.98°N 22.04°E). It is filled with brine of re-dissolved Messinian evaporites and is nearly saturated with MgCl<sub>2</sub>-equivalents, which makes this habitat extremely challenging for life. The strong density difference between the anoxic brine and the overlying oxic Mediterranean seawater ...

    • Manganese/iron‐supported sulfate‐dependent anaerobic oxidation of methane by archaea in lake sediments 

      Su, Guangyi; Zopfi, Jakob; Yao, Haoyi; Steinle, Lea; Niemann, Helge; Lehmann, Moritz F (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-04)
      Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) by methanotrophic archaea is an important sink of this greenhouse gas in marine sediments. However, evidence for AOM in freshwater habitats is rare, and little is known about the pathways, electron acceptors, and microbes involved. Here, we show that AOM occurs in anoxic sediments of a sulfate‐rich lake in southern Switzerland (Lake Cadagno). Combined AOM‐rate ...

    • Redox-dependent niche differentiation provides evidence for multiple bacterial sources of glycerol tetraether lipids in lakes 

      Weber, Yuki; Sinninghe Damsté, Jaap S.; Zopfi, Jakob; De Jonge, Cindy; Gilli, Adrian; Schubert, Carsten J.; Lepori, Fabio; Lehmann, Moritz F.; Niemann, Helge (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-23)
      Terrestrial paleoclimate archives such as lake sediments are essential for our understanding of the continental climate system and for the modeling of future climate scenarios. However, quantitative proxies for the determination of paleotemperatures are sparse. The relative abundances of certain bacterial lipids, i.e., branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs), respond to changes in ...
