Genus of archaea
Phase contrast image of Methanothermobacter marburgensis DSM 2133. Specimen was obtained in late exponential phase from a fed-batch fermentation. The cells are rod shaped and elongated.
Methanothermobacter is a
genus of
archaeans in the family
Methanobacteriaceae .
[1] The species within this genus are
thermophilic and grow best at temperatures between 55 °C and 65 °C. They are
methanogens ; they use
carbon dioxide and
hydrogen as substrates to produce
methane for energy.
[2]
Phylogeny
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the
List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)
[3] and
National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
[1]
Metabolism
The metabolism of
Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus has been
reconstructed in the form of experimentally validated computer models for the two strains Z-245 and ΔH.
