Phase contrast image of Methano­thermobacter marburgensis DSM 2133. Specimen was obtained in late exponential phase from a fed-batch fermentation. The cells are rod shaped and elongated.

Methanothermobacter is a genus of archaeans in the family Methanobacteriaceae.[1] The species within this genus are thermophilic and grow best at temperatures between 55 °C and 65 °C. They are methanogens; they use carbon dioxide and hydrogen as substrates to produce methane for energy.[2]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[3] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[1]

16S rRNA based LTP_06_2022[4][5][6] 53 marker proteins based GTDB 10-RS226[7][8][9]

Metabolism

The metabolism of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus has been reconstructed in the form of experimentally validated computer models for the two strains Z-245 and ΔH.[10]
