Insights into the Ecological Roles and Evolution of Methyl-Coenzyme M Reductase-Containing Hot Spring Archaea [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Diversity of gut methanogens in herbivorous animals

open access: yesAnimal, 2013
The digestion of plant biomass by symbiotic microbial communities in the gut of herbivore hosts also results in the production of methane, a greenhouse gas that is released into the environment where it contributes to climate change.

Iron to Gas: Versatile Multiport Flow-Column Revealed Extremely High Corrosion Potential by Methanogen-Induced Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (Mi-MIC)

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Currently, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is regarded as the main culprit of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC), mainly due to the low reported corrosion rates of other microorganisms.

Metabolic versatility in methanogens

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Biotechnology, 2014
Methanogenesis is an anaerobic metabolism responsible for the generation of >90% of the methane formed on Earth today, with important implications for fuels production and global warming. Although methanogenic Archaea have been cultured for over 70 years, key insights regarding electron flow and energy conservation in methanogenesis have only recently ...

Optimizing Genetic Manipulation of Methanogens through Faster Cloning Techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Methanogenesis is the biological production of methane. Only anaerobic archaea known as methanogens are capable of such a metabolic feat. They have strict living conditions and substrate sources which determine their rate of metabolism.

A Metagenome‐Assembled Genome Catalog From the Global Ruminant Microbiomes

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The Ruminant Gastrointestinal MAG Catalog (RGMC) is a comprehensive global resource offering 40,812 strain‐level genomes across 53 bacterial and 4 archaeal classes. It greatly surpasses prior efforts in scale and diversity, serving as an essential foundation for research in ruminant nutrition, microbial function, and methane mitigation.

Nitrate decreases ruminal methane production with slight changes to ruminal methanogen composition of nitrate-adapted steers

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2018
Background This study was conducted to examine effects of nitrate on ruminal methane production, methanogen abundance, and composition. Six rumen-fistulated Limousin×Jinnan steers were fed diets supplemented with either 0% (0NR), 1% (1NR), or 2% (2NR ...

Organic matter lability modifies the vertical structure of methane-related microbial communities in lake sediments

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Eutrophication increases the input of labile, algae-derived, organic matter (OM) into lake sediments. This potentially increases methane (CH4) emissions from sediment to water through increased methane production rates and decreased methane oxidation ...

The effect of pretreatment on VFA production from tofu and tempeh wastewater through anaerobic digestion batch

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Tofu and tempeh, derived from soybeans, are widely consumed for their nutritional value and high protein content. However, the production of these foods generates nutrient‐rich wastewater that poses environmental challenges while offering opportunities for valorization.
