Ethane is the second most abundant component of natural gas in addition to methane, and-similar to methane-is chemically unreactive. The biological consumption of ethane under anoxic conditions was suggested by geochemical profiles at marine hydrocarbon seeps<sup>1-3</sup>, and through ethane-dependent sulfate reduction in slurries<sup>4-7</sup>. Nevertheless, the microorganisms and reactions that catalyse this process have to date remained unknown<sup>8</sup>. Here we describe ethane-oxidizing ...[more]
