Methanothrix soehngenii

Huser et al., 1982

Methanothrix soehngenii is a species of methanogenic archaea. Its cells are non- motile, non- spore-forming, rod-shaped (0.8×2 μm) and are normally combined end to end in long filaments, surrounded by a sheath-like structure. It is named in honour of N. L. Söhngen. [1]

Metabolism

Unlike other methanogenic archaea, Methanothrix soehngenii cannot reduce carbon dioxide with hydrogen to produce methane. Its sole source of energy is acetate. [2]

Genome

The tRNAala gene of Methanothrix soehngenii differs from those of other archaea in that it encodes a terminal CCA 3′. [2]
