Abstract
Methane (CH4) contributes an essential portion for global warming as a pivotal greenhouse gas. Microorganisms are identified as an effective way to mediate and control CH4 emission. Cable bacteria is a promising microorganism to mitigate CH4, however, the studies of distribution, abundance and function for CH4 reduction of cable bacteria in inland water still remain unclear. In this paper, we propose the probable CH4 mitigation metabolism within cable bacteria in anoxic condition, and present the future research directions about the application potential of cable bacteria in CH4 reduction. The viewpoint will help to understand the significant role of cable bacteria in CH4 mitigation and provide a potential way to control CH4 emissions in inland freshwater ecosystem.
期刊介绍:
The ultimate aim of Ecological Indicators is to integrate the monitoring and assessment of ecological and environmental indicators with management practices. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the applied scientific development and review of traditional indicator approaches as well as for theoretical, modelling and quantitative applications such as index development. Research into the following areas will be published.
• All aspects of ecological and environmental indicators and indices.
• New indicators, and new approaches and methods for indicator development, testing and use.
• Development and modelling of indices, e.g. application of indicator suites across multiple scales and resources.
• Analysis and research of resource, system- and scale-specific indicators.
• Methods for integration of social and other valuation metrics for the production of scientifically rigorous and politically-relevant assessments using indicator-based monitoring and assessment programs.
• How research indicators can be transformed into direct application for management purposes.
• Broader assessment objectives and methods, e.g. biodiversity, biological integrity, and sustainability, through the use of indicators.
• Resource-specific indicators such as landscape, agroecosystems, forests, wetlands, etc.
