An organism or substance that produces or generates gas, especially one that produces air-filled spaces in sediment or living tissue.
From aero- (air) and -gen (producer, generator). Used in geology and microbiology to describe organisms or processes that create gaseous bubbles.
Aerogens in swamp sediments create gas-filled pockets that allow certain plants to float and bog vegetation to feel bouncy underfoot—basically tiny gas factories working beneath the mud!
