Query: NC_009637:774358 Methanococcus maripaludis C7 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Methanococcus maripaludis; Methanococcus; Methanococcaceae; Methanococcales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Anaerobic methane-producing archeon. This strain was isolated from intertidal salt-marsh sediments. Methanococcus maripaludis is an obligately anaerobic, mesophilic, methane-producing archaeon. Growth on hydrogen and carbon dioxide results in the production of methane as a waste product. M. maripaludis stands out among methanogenic archaea as an ideal model species because of fast reproducible growth and effective genetic tools.

Subject: NC_009051:1118486 Methanoculleus marisnigri JR1, complete genome

Lineage: Methanoculleus marisnigri; Methanoculleus; Methanomicrobiaceae; Methanomicrobiales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Methanogen present in marine and freshwater sediments. Methanoculleus marisnigri was first isolated from sediment from the Black Sea, but has also been identified in freshwater sediments. This organism can use hydrogen, formate, and secondary alcohols, such as propanol and butanol, for methanogenesis.
