Vertical profiles of sediment methanogenic potential and communities in two plateau freshwater lakes [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 Microbial methanogenesis in sediment plays a crucial role in CH4 emission from freshwater lake ecosystems. However, knowledge of the layer-depth-related changes of methanogen community structure and activities in freshwater lake sediment is still limited.

The evolving role of methanogenic archaea in mammalian microbiomes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Methanogenic archaea (methanogens) represent a diverse group of microorganisms that inhabit various environmental and host-associated microbiomes. These organisms play an essential role in global carbon cycling given their ability to produce methane, a ...

Rumen methanogens: a review [PDF]
Indian Journal of Microbiology, 2010 The Methanogens are a diverse group of organisms found in anaerobic environments such as anaerobic sludge digester, wet wood of trees, sewage, rumen, black mud, black sea sediments, etc which utilize carbon dioxide and hydrogen and produce methane. They are nutritionally fastidious anaerobes with the redox potential below -300 mV and usually grow at pH

Genomic Variation Influences Methanothermococcus Fitness in Marine Hydrothermal Systems
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Hydrogenotrophic methanogens are ubiquitous chemoautotrophic archaea inhabiting globally distributed deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems and associated subseafloor niches within the rocky subseafloor, yet little is known about how they adapt and ...

Progress in the development of vaccines against rumen methanogens
Animal, 2013 Vaccination against rumen methanogens offers a practical approach to reduce methane emissions in livestock, particularly ruminants grazing on pasture. Although successful vaccination strategies have been reported for reducing the activity of the rumen ...
