Alison Harmon, MSU’s vice president for research and economic development, said she is excited that the findings with such far-reaching potential impact are receiving the attention they deserve. Scientists have known since the 1930s that many anaerobic organisms within the archaea are methanogens, and for decades they believed that all methanogens were in a single phylum: the Euryarchaeota.
“Until our studies, no experimental work had been done on these microbes, aside from DNA sequencing,” said Hatzenpichler., are widespread, Hatzenpichler said. They are sometimes found in wastewater treatment plants and the digestive tracts of ruminant animals and in marine sediments, soils, and wetlands.
“My best bet is that they sometimes grow by making methane, and sometimes they do something else entirely, but we don’t know when they grow, or how, or why,” Hatzenpichler said. “We now need to find out when they contribute to methane cycling and when not.”or acetate to make methane, Methanomethylicia and Methanodesulfokora use compounds such as methanol.
