Examples of methanogen
methanogen
Oceanic nickel depletion and a methanogen famine before the Great Oxidation Event.

The process produces hydrogen, which is then converted into methane by methanogen enzymes.

We present a genome-scale metabolic model for the archaeal methanogen Methanosarcina barkeri.
From the nature.com
This represents the first large-scale simulation of either a methanogen or an archaeal species.

This in turn would help the methanogen survive.
From the sciencedaily.com
This form of metabolism evolved early, and it is even possible that the first free-living organism was a methanogen.
From the en.wikipedia.org
The vaccine, based on three species of inactivated microbe, was effective against only 20% of methanogen species in the sheep.

With core samples from 1109 to 1273 meters below the sea surface, the INEEL team will learn about the vertical distribution of the methanogen community.

Since M. barkeri and its methanogen cousins produce large quantities of methane, and methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, this could be bad news for the environment.

- Archaebacteria found in anaerobic environments such as animal intestinal tracts or sediments or sewage and capable of producing methane; a source of natural gas
- Methanogens are microorganisms that produce methane as a metabolic byproduct in anoxic conditions. They are classified as archaea, a group quite distinct from bacteria. ...
- (Methanogenic) Methanogenesis or biomethanation is the formation of methane by microbes known as methanogens. ...
- (Methanogens) Bacteria that synthesize Methane, requiring completely anaerobic conditions for growth.
- (methanogens) Example: Methanococcus jannaschii , the first archaeal organism to have its genome sequenced
- A type of microbe that can survive without oxygen, for example in an animal's intestinal tract. A methanogen, like other microbes, feeds off other organisms and decaying organic matter, producing methane as a by-product during this breaking-down process.
- Microorganism that produces methane.
