Transcriptional response of Methanosarcina acetivorans to repression of the energy-conserving methanophenazine: CoM-CoB heterodisulfide reductase enzyme HdrED
ABSTRACT Methane-producing archaea are key organisms in the anaerobic carbon cycle.These organisms, also called methanogens, grow by converting substrate to methane gas in a process called methanogenesis.Previous research showed that the reduction of the terminal electron acceptor is the rate-limiting step in methanogenesis by Methanosarcina acetiv
