To explore the impact of PFOA on methane emissions
By setting up experiments with varying PFOA concentration gradients, this study investigates how different PFOA levels affect the microbial community structure in sediments, with a particular focus on the changes in methanogens and methanotrophs. Therefore, 16S rRNA, mcrA, and pmoA amplicon sequencing was performed on the collected thermokarst pond sediment samples.
