Genomic markers for anaerobic microbial processes in marine sediments--sulfate reduction, methano genesis, and anaerobic methane oxidation--reveal the structure of sulfate-reducing, methanogenic, and methane-oxidizing microbial communities (including uncultured members); they allow inferences about the evolution of these ancient microbial pathways; and they open genomic windows into extreme microbial habitats, such as deep subsurface sediments and hydrothermal vents, that are analogs for th...
