Genetic manipulation of Methanosarcina spp. [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 The discovery of the third domain of life, the Archaea, is one of the most exciting findings of the last century. These remarkable prokaryotes are well known for their adaptations to extreme environments; however, Archaea have also conquered moderate ...

Genus-specific remodeling of carbon and energy metabolism facilitates acetoclastic methanogenesis in Methanosarcina spp. and Methanothrix spp. [PDF]
Journal of BacteriologyMethanogenic archaea (methanogens) are microorganisms that obligately produce methane as a byproduct of their energy metabolism. While most methanogens grow on CO2+H2, isolates of the genera Methanosarcina and Methanothrix can use acetate as the sole ...
