Methanotroph activity and connectivity between two seep systems north off Svalbard
International audience Understanding methane flux dynamics in Arctic cold seep systems and the influence of oceanic currents on microbial methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is crucial for assessing their impact on Arctic methane emissions. Here, we investigate methane dynamics and associated microbial...

International audience Understanding methane flux dynamics in Arctic cold seep systems and the influence of oceanic currents on microbial methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is crucial for assessing their impact on Arctic methane emissions.

Methane concentrations and methane oxidation rates (MOx) were measured in bottom and surface waters, with higher values observed in bottom waters, particularly at Hinlopen Trough. Dominant water column MOB clusters were Milano−WF1B−03 and Methyloprofundus.
