Abstract: An anaerobic methanotroph (ANME-2d) can perform nitrate-driven anaerobic oxidation of methane through reverse methanogenesis, using nitrate as the terminal electron acceptor, and nitrite produced by ANME-2d is reduced to dinitrogen gas through a syntrophic relationship with an anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing bacterium.
