Denitrifying anaerobic methane oxidation (DAMO) microorganisms, using nitrate/nitrite to oxidize methane, have been proved to be an important microbial methane sink in natural habitats. Increasing nitrogen deposit around the globe brings increased availability of substrates for these microorganisms....
