此前，细菌和古菌互作产甲烷（被称为"互营代谢"）主要依赖于微生物之间的氢气、甲酸或电子传 递，而此次发现的种间甲醇转移是一种新的菌群互作产甲烷模式。此外，嗜甲酸赵氏杆菌通过全新的甘 氨酸—丝氨酸循环介导的代谢途径产生甲醇，也是首次在微生物细胞内发现。 "这种转化过程面临的热力学限制，通过与产甲烷菌胜利甲烷嗜热微球菌的合作得以克服。本项研 究不仅丰富了深部生物圈的碳循环认知，为地下甲基化合物的生物来源提供了新的线索，也为未来开 发'地下沼气工程'和碳减排新技术提供了新的思路。"承磊说。（记者马爱平） 地球深处，没有阳光也没有氧气，微生物却在这种极端环境中顽强生存，并默默推动着地球碳素循 环，持续产生甲烷这种绿色能源。最近研究发现，地下深部生物圈广泛分布着吃"甲醇"产甲烷的古菌。 但是，他们赖以生存的甲醇从何而来一直是一个未解之谜。近日，国际权威期刊《自然》刊文，来自我 国农业农村部成都沼气科学研究所研究员承磊团队与日本科学家合作，发现了一种合作共赢的菌群互作 模式，为解答这一谜题提供了新的线索。 我国科学家前期从地下油藏先后分离获得了厌氧细菌新科物种嗜甲酸赵氏杆菌，以及吃甲醇产甲烷 的厌氧古菌新科物种胜利甲烷嗜 ...

Core Insights - The research published in the journal "Nature Geoscience" reveals that changes in ocean sulfate concentrations can alter methane consumption processes, shedding light on the carbon cycle mechanisms behind the extreme global warming and ocean acidification during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) 56 million years ago [1] Group 1: Methane Consumption and Carbon Cycle - Approximately 90% of methane in modern oceans is utilized by microorganisms in sediments under anoxic conditions, producing alkaline substances that mitigate ocean acidification [1] - During the PETM, the sulfate concentration in Arctic seawater was less than one-third of modern levels, leading to a shift where oxygen-consuming bacteria began to "rapidly burn" methane, directly consuming oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide [1] - The reconstruction of carbon dioxide concentrations based on marine phytoplankton molecular traces indicates that during the PETM recovery period, Arctic ocean CO2 levels were 200-700 ppm higher than the global average, indicating a transition from CO2 absorption to emission [1] Group 2: Role of the Arctic in Global Carbon Cycle - The reduction in seawater salinity and sulfate led to methane being decomposed primarily through "rapid burning," resulting in significant carbon dioxide production [1] - This fundamentally altered the Arctic's role in the global carbon cycle, transforming it from a carbon sink to a source of greenhouse gas emissions [1]
