Methanogen Community Dynamics and Methanogenic Function Response to Solid Waste Decomposition [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Methane production during solid waste decomposition is a typical methanogen-mediated and enzyme-catalyzed anaerobic digestion (AD). Methanogen community dynamics and metabolic diversity during the decomposition are not known.

Co-cultured methanogen improved the metabolism in the hydrogenosome of anaerobic fungus as revealed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis [PDF]
Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2020 Objective The purpose of this study was to reveal the metabolic shift in the fungus co-cultured with the methanogen (Methanobrevibacter thaueri). Methods Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to investigate the metabolites in anaerobic fungal ...

Response of Methanogens in Arctic Sediments to Temperature and Methanogenic Substrate Availability. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Although cold environments are major contributors to global biogeochemical cycles, comparatively little is known about their microbial community function, structure, and limits of activity. In this study a microcosm based approach was used to investigate

Comparative Analysis of Root Microbiomes of Rice Cultivars with High and Low Methane Emissions Reveals Differences in Abundance of Methanogenic Archaea and Putative Upstream Fermenters. [PDF]
, 2020 Rice cultivation worldwide accounts for ∼7 to 17% of global methane emissions. Methane cycling in rice paddies is a microbial process not only involving methane producers (methanogens) and methane metabolizers (methanotrophs) but also other microbial ...
