Methanogenesis is the primary biogenic source of methane in the atmosphere and a key contributor to climate change. The long-standing dogma that methanogenesis originated within the Euryarchaeota was ...

Marker genes for diverse methane metabolisms Of the 10 MAGs reconstructed in the study, five were from undersampled or previously undescribed lineages, and the other five only distantly related to ...

A study led by microbiologists at TU Dresden shows that methanogenic archaea do not always need to form methane to survive. It is possible to bypass methanogenesis with the seemingly simpler and more ...
