Methanogens' metabolism has consequences in the bioenergy realm. Researchers are increasingly interested in using natural hydrogen as a clean fuel; Nebraska, in fact, is home to the United States ...

A research team has shown that methanogens, micro-organisms ubiquitous in low-oxygen environments like aquifers, soil and even permafrost, can propel their growth by dissolving calcium carbonate ...

The findings are based on analyses of Mars mission data. The study identifies methanogens, a type of microbe known for producing methane, as potential candidates for life on Mars. These ...
