Taxonomy

Description

The species identified by metagenomic analyses. Cells are cocci with a diameter of 0.5–0.8 µm. No cell wall. No autofluorescence under UV light due to lack of cofactor F420. Utilize only H2 + methanol or H2 + monomethylamine as substrates for methanogenesis. Require yeast extract, coenzyme M, and vitamins for growth. Species identified by physiological and genomic analyses of a highly enriched culture. The G+C content of the type genome is 49.2 mol%, and the genome size is 1.48 Mbp.
