Question

Differentiate between methanogens and halophiles. (atleast 2 points each)​

Answer 1

Answer:

thank you

Explanation:

The bacteria group consists of several microorganisms which are archaea and prokaryotic. Methanogens are microorganisms that release methane as a byproduct through their metabolic processes. ... Halophiles are the bacteria classified into the domain archaea and are found high in high salt concentrated environments

Answer 2

Answer:

(i) Methanogens: These are microorganisms that produce methane as a byproduct of metabolism in anoxic conditions. They belong to class Archaea.

(ii) Halophiles: These are microorganisms that grow and thrive in high salt concentrations.

Explanation:

They use carbon dioxide as a source of carbon and hydrogen as a reducing agent to produce methane. Halophiles are the bacteria classified into the domain archaea and are found high in high salt concentrated environments. They are salt loving organisms which tolerate extreme high salinity.
