Extended Data Fig. 2: Rate of methane production observed in long-term enrichment experiments.
From: Recycling and metabolic flexibility dictate life in the lower oceanic crust
The rate at 25 weeks was derived from the value measured at 25 weeks minus the initial value (0) divided by the time elapsed in days. The rate at 60 weeks was derived from the difference between methane measured at 60 weeks and methane measured at 25 weeks divided by the time elapsed since the 25-week measurement. Data are from single measurements owing to limited sample availability, except for the ASW blank (n = 3), for which the mean is displayed. Source Data are available online.
