Horizontal Gene Transfer Constrains the Timing of Methanogen Evolution

2017-04-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Microbial methanogenesis may have been a major component of Earth’s carbon cycle during the Archaean Eon, generating a methane greenhouse that increased global temperatures enough for a liquid hydrosphere, despite the sun’s lower luminosity at the time. Evaluation of potential solutions to the “faint young sun” hypothesis by determining the age of microbial methanogenesis was limited by ambiguou...
