This is significant as methanogens produce 70 percent of the world's methane—a gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere, Hatzenpichler said.

Scientists have solved a long-standing mystery about methanogens, unique microorganisms that transform electricity and carbon dioxide into methane. The results could pave the way for microbial ...

Stanford University scientists have solved a long-standing mystery about methanogens, unique microorganisms that transform electricity and carbon dioxide into methane.

Microbiologists show that methanogenic archaea do not always need to form methane to survive. It is possible to bypass methanogenesis with the seemingly simpler and more environmentally friendly ...

Methanogens, known to science since 1933, are methane-producing bacteria, especially an archaean which reduces carbon dioxide to methane, unlike humans and other animals who eat food, inhale ...

Stanford University scientists have solved a long-standing mystery about methanogens, unique microorganisms that transform electricity and carbon dioxide into methane. The results could pave the ...

Isotope tracer and molecular analyses show that high CO2 conditions invoke acetoclastic methanogenesis in place of syntrophic acetate oxidation coupled with hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis that ...

The dominance of anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation, including methanogenesis, in subsurface biodegradation of oil is supported by the lack of sufficiently oxygenated formation waters to oxidize ...

While carbon dioxide is typically painted as the bad boy of greenhouse gases, methane is roughly 30 times more potent as a heat-trapping gas. New research in the journal Nature indicates that for ...

A bacteria found in the gut of kangaroos could prove effective in reducing methane emissions from dairy cows and cattle, according to new research from scientists at Washington State University.

This is significant as methanogens produce 70 percent of the world's methane—a gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere, Hatzenpichler said.
