Wetland soil Metagenome
Little is known about the effects of extreme CO2 on active microbial communities and associated processes, e.g. via Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage (CCS) leakages. We studied a wetland area which is affected by spots of subcrustal CO2 degassing (mofette soils) with special focus on the anaerobic chemolithoautotrophic processes methanogenesis and acetogenesis. <p> The study site (50°08‘48‘‘ N, 12°27‘03‘‘ E) is a wetland area located close to the river Plesná, in northwestern Bohemia (Czech Republic), containing spots of subcrustal CO2 degassing (mofette soils).
