Mofette and Wetland soil Metagenome Metagenome. soil metagenome

Little is known about the effects of extreme CO2 on active microbial communities and associated processes, e.g. via Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) leakages. We studied a wetland area which is affected by spots of subcrustal CO2 degassing (mofette soils) with special focus on the anaerobic chemolithoautotrophic processes methanogenesis and acetogenesis
