ABSTRACT While wetlands are major sources of biogenic methane (CH 4 ), our understanding of resident microbial metabolism is incomplete, which compromises the prediction of CH 4 emissions under ongoing climate change. Here, we employed genome-resolved multi-omics to expand our understanding of metha...
