Methanoperedens nitroreducens is a candidate species of methanotrophic archaea that oxidizes methane by coupling to nitrate reduction.[1] While originally known as an anaerobic species,[2] nitrate accumulates at the oxic/anoxic interface, and M. nitroreducens shows oxygen damage defense mechanisms as a result.[1] This differs from other anaerobic species who suffer irreversible damage when exposed to oxygen,[3] hinting at future applications for this archaeal species.
