Lineage: Methanocorpusculum labreanum; Methanocorpusculum; Methanocorpusculaceae; Methanomicrobiales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: Methanocorpusculum labreanum Z was isolated from surface sediment from the LaBrea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California, USA. Methanocorpusculum labreanum fixes carbon dioxide, produces methane and is involved in biomethanation processes (wastewater treatment, sewage, landfills).
Subject: NC_000916:952663 Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus str. Delta H, complete
Lineage: Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus; Methanothermobacter; Methanobacteriaceae; Methanobacteriales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: This strain was isolated from sewage sludge in 1971 in Urbana, Illinois, USA. This organism is a strictly anaerobic, nonmotile, methane producing archeon. This organism is found in thermophilic, anaerobic sewage sludge digestors. Energy metabolism is by the reduction of carbon dioxide to methane.
