| Abstract |
Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) plays a crucial role in controlling the flux of methane from anoxic environments. Sulfate-, nitrite-, nitrate-, and iron-dependent methane oxidation processes have been considered to be responsible for the AOM activities in anoxic niches. Here, we report nitrate-reducing AOM microorganisms, enriched in a membrane biofilm bioreactor (MBfR), are able to couple selenate reduction to AOM. According to ion chromatography (IC), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and long-term bioreactor performance, we reveal that soluble selenate was reduced to nanoparticle elemental selenium. High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing indicates that Candidatus Methanoperedens and Candidatus Methylomirabilis remained the only known methane-oxidising microorganisms after nitrate was switched to selenate, suggesting that these organisms could couple anaerobic methane oxidation to selenate reduction. Our findings suggest a possible link between the biogeochemical selenium and methane cycles. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 March 2018.
All research outputs
#5,338,778
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Environmental Science & Technology
#5,949
of 20,680 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#98,164
of 351,846 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Environmental Science & Technology
#125
of 306 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 78th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 20,680 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 17.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 351,846 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 306 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 59% of its contemporaries.
