methanogens
41Methanotroph — Methanotrophs (sometimes called methanophiles) are bacteria that are able to metabolize methane as their only source of carbon and energy. They can grow aerobically or anaerobically and require single carbon compounds to survive. Under aerobic… …
42Temperature gradient gel electrophoresis — (TGGE) and Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) are forms of electrophoresis which use either a temperature or chemical gradient to denature the sample as it moves across an acrylamide gel. TGGE and DGGE can be applied to nucleic acids… …
43Methylotroph — Methylotrophs are a diverse group of microorganisms that can use reduced one carbon compounds, such as methanol or methane, as the carbon source for their growth; and multi carbon compounds that contain no carbon bonds, such as dimethyl ether and …
44Chemotroph — A black smoker in the Atlantic Ocean providing energy and nutrients Chemotrophs are organisms that obtain energy by the oxidation of electron donors in their environments. These molecules can be organic (chemoorganotrophs) or inorganic… …
45Lithotroph — A lithotroph is an organism that uses an inorganic substrate (usually of mineral origin) to obtain reducing equivalents for use in biosynthesis (e.g., carbon dioxide fixation) or energy conservation via aerobic or anaerobic respiration.[1] Known… …

47Fermentation (biochemistry) — Fermentation in progress: scum formed by CO2 gas bubbles and fermenting material. See also Fermentation for particular usages of the fermentation process Fermentation is the process of extracting energy from the oxidation of organic compounds,… …
48Coenzyme M — is a coenzyme required for methyl transfer reactions in the metabolism of methanogens.[1][2] The coenzyme is an anion with the formula …
