    Isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon in subsurface sediments of gas hydrate-bearing mud volcanoes, Lake Baikal: implications for methane and carbonate origin

    We report on the isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in pore-water samples recovered by gravity coring from near-bottom sediments at gas hydrate-bearing mud volcanoes/gas flares (Malenky, ...

    Geochemical and microbiological characteristics of sediments near the Malenky mud volcano (Lake Baikal, Russia), with evidence of Archaea intermediate between the marine anaerobic methanotrophs ANME-2 and ANME-3

    Detailed lithological, biogeochemical and molecular biological analyses of core sediments collected in 2002–2006 from the vicinity of the Malenky mud volcano, Lake Baikal, reveal considerable spatial variation...

    Plankton composition and water chemistry in the mixing zone of the Selenga River with Lake Baikal

    Chemical and biological components of the Selenga River waters, the largest tributary of Lake Baikal, differ significantly from the lake waters. Active transformation processes of river waters into the lake on...

    Faunal communities at sites of gas- and oil-bearing fluids in Lake Baikal

    Macro- and meiofaunal communities were examined at four geomorphologically distinct sites with different gas- and oil-bearing fluid characteristics in the northern, central and southern basins of Lake Baikal. ...

    Authigenic rhodochrosite from a gas hydrate-bearing structure in Lake Baikal

    Early diagenetic carbonates are rare in Lake Baikal. Siderite (Fe carbonate) concretions in the sediments were discovered only recently. Here, we discuss the first finding of rhodochrosite concretions (Mn carb...

    Bacterial Communities in Areas of Oil and Methane Seeps in Pelagic of Lake Baikal

    We have assessed the diversity of bacteria near oil-methane (area I) and methane (area II) seeps in the pelagic zone of Lake Baikal using massive parallel sequencing of 16S rRNA, pmoA, and mxaF gene fragments amp...

    Microorganisms of Lake Baikal—the deepest and most ancient lake on Earth

    Lake Baikal (Russia) is the largest (by volume) and deepest lake on Earth. The lake remains relatively pristine due to the low population density around its basin. Being very distant from any marine water body...

    Microbial Communities Associated with Bentic Invertebrates of Lake Baikal

    The first results of a study into the microbiomes of benthic invertebrates found in sites with seeps (containing methane, oil, or a combination of methane and mud) and an underwater low-temperature vent of Lak...

    Sluggish methane discharge and biological traits of benthic invertebrates in Lake Baikal

    The biological traits of invertebrates inhabiting freshwater methane seeps are poorly understood. We analysed the relationship between invertebrate abundance and environmental factors such as methane concentra...

    A novel and diverse group of Candidatus Patescibacteria from bathypelagic Lake Baikal revealed through long-read metagenomics

    Lake Baikal, the world’s deepest freshwater lake, contains important numbers of Candidatus Patescibacteria (formerly CPR) in its deepest reaches. However, previously obtained CPR metagenome-assembled genomes recr...
