Taxonomy

Description
Phylogenetically affiliated with the genus Methanocella, phylum Halobacteriota. The genome consists of one circular chromosome of 3,614,771 bp. The DNA G + C content is 54.73 mol%. Strain Methanocella ebodensis WT was cultivated from biocrust of the Negev desert, Israel. Soil hydrogenotrophic methanogen with a rod-shaped morphology. Cells typically measure ~0.8 µm in diameter and 7-8 µm in length. The strain was routinely cultured with 10% H2 at 37°C in fresh water basal medium and subjected to 5% air regularly.
