METHANOBACTERIUM

A genus of strictly anaerobic bacteria that reduce carbon dioxide using molecular hydrogen, H2, to give methane. They show a number of parameters that distinguish them from another bacteria and are now classified as a separate group, the Archaebacteria. Methanobacteria are found in the anaerobic sediment at the bottom of ponds and marshes (hence marsh gas is the general name for methane) and as part of the microflora of the rumen in cattle and another herbivorous mammals.
