Presence of methane in gulf worries scientists. June 18, 2010. NEW ORLEANS. Associated Press ...

It was a sensation when Max Planck researchers discovered the release of methane from plants in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) 16 years ago. However, initially the results were doubted, ...

Oxygen uptake at cold seeps reflects the direct consumption of oxygen by aerobic methane-consuming microbes, termed methanotrophs, that live alone or in symbiosis with certain seafloor animals.

The scientists verified the reactive oxygen species-driven formation of methane in more than 30 model organisms, ranging from bacteria and archaea to yeasts, plant cells and human cell lines. It was a ...

The oxygen-producing bacterium, provisionally named Methylomirabilis oxyfera, grows in a layer of methane-rich but oxygen-poor mud at the bottom of rivers and lakes.

Researchers have developed a cutting edge catalyst made up of 10 different elements -- each of which on its own has the ability to reduce the combustion temperature of methane -- plus oxygen. This ...

MADISON, WI, MARCH 1, 2011 – Methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas. Wetlands, gas hydrates, permafrost, termites, oceans, freshwater bodies, non-wetland soils, are all natural sources of ...

Kahn and his colleagues reviewed National Burn Repository data for 2013-2016 as well as articles in the lay press and found that vaping in the presence of supplemental oxygen can ignite the oxygen ...

Generally, when we talk about the production of hydrogen, the discussion is about either electrolysis of water into oxygen and hydrogen, or steam methane reforming (SMR). Although electrolysis is o… ...

Methane can be produced by a variety of processes, ... But even oxygen has its problems: some models show that lots of oxygen can wind up in an atmosphere without the presence of life.

Combustion, or burning, is a process where a fuel such as methane undergoes a sequence of exothermic chemical reactions that release energy when interacting with an oxidizing compound (usually ...

Methane is 84 times more effective at absorbing the sun’s heat than carbon dioxide, making it one of the most potent greenhouse gases and a huge contributor to climate change. Along with methane, ...
