Investigation on the aerobic methanotrophic community and the dominant taxon Methylomarinum in seagrass ecosystem
In summary, our study revealed that the vertical variation of NH<sub>4</sub><sup>+</sup>-N significantly affected methane oxidation and that type I methanotrophs, especially the genus Methylomarinum played an important role in oxidizing methane in seagrass sediments, shedding new insights into the methane abatement in the seagrass ecosystem, which is essential for climate change mitigation.
