Microbial methane cycling in a landfill on a decadal time scale
D. S. Gregoire, N. A. George, L. A. Hug
This study examines microbial methane cycling in landfill waste over 39 years, showing that anaerobic methanogens dominate new waste while aerobic methanotrophs persist in leachate, and highlights the potential for anaerobic methane oxidation in older landfills.
