Taxonomy

Description

Phylogenetically affiliated with the genus Methanobacterium, phylum Methanobacteriota. The genome consists of one circular chromosome of 3,168,381 bp. The DNA G + C content is 33.45 mol%. Strain Methanobacterium limaniae EP was cultivated from biocrust of the Negev desert, Israel. Soil hydrogenotrophic methanogen with a rod-shaped morphology. Cells are slender and elongated, typically measuring ~0.5 µm in diameter and 4-5 µm in length. The strain was routinely cultured with 80% H2 at 32°C in DSM17711 medium.
