Biogeographical distribution of denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidizing bacteria in Chinese wetland ecosystems

The discovery of denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation with nitrite as electron acceptor mediated by 'Candidatus Methylomirabilis oxyfera' connected the biogeochemical carbon and nitrogen cycle in a new way. However, it is important to have a comprehensive understanding about the distribution of M. oxyfera-like bacteria in the terrestrial realm, especially the wetland ecosystems that are known as the largest natural source of atmospheric...
