Isoprene-metabolizing bacteria represent a global regulator for atmospheric isoprene concentrations. Under anoxic conditions, isoprene can be used as an electron acceptor reducing it to methylbutene.
Freshwater lakes represent an important source of the potent greenhouse gas methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. Methane emissions are regulated to large parts by aerobic (MOx) and anaerobic (AOM) oxidati
