Answer 2

places where methanogens can be found

• Methanogens typically thrive in environments in which all electron acceptors other than CO2 (such as oxygen, nitrate, ferric iron (Fe(III)), and sulfate) have been depleted.
• In deep basaltic rocks near the mid ocean ridges, they can obtain their hydrogen from the serpentinisation reaction of olivine as observed in the hydrothermal field of Lost City.

Methanogens

• Methanogens are usually either coccoid (spherical) or bacilli (rod shaped).
• Methanogens have a cell wall that is composed of pseudopeptidoglycan, which offers lysozyme resistance.
• Methanogens are responsible for the methane in the belches of ruminants and in the flatulence in humans.
• Methanogens play a vital ecological role in anaerobic environments by removing excess hydrogen and fermentation products produced by other forms of anaerobic respiration.
• Methanogens play a key role in the remineralization of organic carbon and under the right conditions can form reservoirs of methanogen, a potent greenhouse gas.
