Methanothermobacter
Methanothermobacter is a genus of archaeans in the family Methanobacteriaceae.[1] The species within this genus are thermophilic and grow best at temperatures between 55°C and 65°C. They are methanogens; they use carbon dioxide and hydrogen as substrates to produce methane for energy.[2]
