Deskripsi
Fazi et al. report on an extraordinarily high biogenic methane concentration detected in the surface water of Lake Sonachi, Kenya. Using gas chromatography and microbiome profiling, they determine that these high concentrations are associated with cyanobacterial blooms and help provide insight to methanogenesis in meromictic soda lakes.
