Light-dependent methane production by a coccolithophorid may counteract its photosynthetic contribution to carbon dioxide sequestration
Abstract Many phytoplankton produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas. However, little is known about the relationship between their methane production and photosynthesis, which drives carbon sequestration in the oceans. Here, by ruling out the possibility of classical methanogenesis, we show that th...
