Consumption of methane by environmental samples from natural gas seep sites of Pipe Creek (a) and Andreiasu Everlasting Fire (b). Microcosms containing environmental samples were incubated under 13C-methane (red circles) or 12C-methane (blue circles) as the only sources of C or energy without any supplementary nutrients. The total amount of methane was injected into the headspace in two spikes (approximately 100 μmol/gram of fresh sample per spike). Data points show the mean (with error bars showing the standard errors) of duplicate incubations for each substrate
