Abstrakt: The article discusses the study of the Håkon Mosby Mud Volcano in the Norwegian continental shelf to analyze the main factors regulating the activity of methanotrophic microorganisms and their contribution to biogeochemical fluxes at the mud volcano. It was found that upward flow of sulfate- and oxygen-free mud volcano fluids hinders the availability of electron receptors for methane oxidation and restricts the habitat range of methanotrophs. Previous measurements at the volcano are cited which showed the first quantitative estimates of the in situ methanotroph composition, distribution and activity in relation to gas emission.
