Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and produced mainly by methanogens. Few studies have specifically dealt so far with methanogens in estuarine environments. In this study, diversity and distribution of methanogens were investigated by clone library and T-RFLP analysis in a Jiulong River estuarine sediment core which contained clear sulfate-methane-transition zone. The majority of obtained sequences in clone libraries and T-RF peaks from T-RFLP analysis were assigned mainly to Methanosaeta, Meth ...[more]
