Methanoliparales | Methanoliparum | seqco.de/i:32049 |
| Genus Methanoliparum | [Me.tha.no.li.pa'rum] N.L. pref. methano-, pertaining to methane; Gr. adj. liparos, fat, greasy; N.L. neut. n. Methanoliparum, methane-producing/consuming organism present in oil-rich environments | Analyses of enrichment cultures indicate that members of this genus can utilize long-chain alkanes as substrate for methanogenesis.
|
Methanoliparaceae | Methanoliparum thermophilumTs | seqco.de/i:32051 |
| Species Methanoliparum thermophilumTs | [ther.mo.phi'lum] Gr. n. thermê, heat; N.L. neut. adj. suff. -philum, friend, loving (from Gr. adj. philos -ê -on); N.L. neut. adj. thermophilum, heat-loving | This organism is not isolated. It is represented by a near-complete MAG, NM1a, (GCA_004212075.1) obtained from an enrichment culture (50°C) using biodegraded oil as inoculum from Brazil. Analyses of enrichment cultures (Borrel et al., 2019; Laso-Perez et al., 2019; Zhou et al., 2022) indicate that this organism can utilize long-chain alkanes as substrate for methanogenesis.
