RNA Polymerase-Binding and Transcription Initiation Sites Upstream of the Methyl Reductase Operon of Methanococcus vannielii [PDF]
, 1988 RNA Polymerase, purified from Methanococcus vannielii, was shown by exonuclease III footprinting to bind to a 49-base-pair (bp) region of DNA in the intergenic region upstream of mcrB.

Evolving understanding of rumen methanogen ecophysiology
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Production of methane by methanogenic archaea, or methanogens, in the rumen of ruminants is a thermodynamic necessity for microbial conversion of feed to volatile fatty acids, which are essential nutrients for the animals. On the other hand, methane is a

Technical note: Comparison of biomarker and molecular biological methods for estimating methanogen abundance [PDF]
, 2013 Quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) has become a popular method for estimation of methanogen abundance in the ruminant digestive tract. However, there is no established method in terms of primer choice and quantification, which means that results are ...

Relating Anaerobic Digestion Microbial Community and Process Function [PDF]
, 2016 Anaerobic digestion (AD) involves a consortium of microorganisms that convert substrates into biogas containing methane for renewable energy. The technology has suffered from the perception of being periodically unstable due to limited understanding of ...

Insights into the Ecological Roles and Evolution of Methyl-Coenzyme M Reductase-Containing Hot Spring Archaea [PDF]
, 2019 Several recent studies have shown the presence of genes for the key enzyme associated with archaeal methane/alkane metabolism, methyl-coenzyme M reductase (Mcr), in metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) divergent to existing archaeal lineages.

Bromeliad catchments as habitats for methanogenesis in tropical rainforest canopies
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 Tropical epiphytic plants within the family Bromeliaceae are unusual in that they possess foliage capable of retaining water and impounded material. This creates an acidic (pH 3.5-6.5) and anaerobic (< 1 ppm O2) environment suspended in the canopy ...

Anaerobic co-digestion of acetate-rich with lignin-rich wastewater and the effect of hydrotalcite addition [PDF]
, 2016 The methane potential and biodegradability of different ratios of acetate and lignin-rich effluents from a neutral sulfite semi-chemical (NSSC) pulp mill were investigated.
