The type of bacterium most likely to be found in a swamp is?
methanogens
What characteristics do methanogens have?
Methanogens are single celled archaean organisms that produce methane a s metabolic byproduct. Found in a variety of environments from marshlands to the intestinal tract of other organismsConsidered to be extremophiles they are found in hot springs, hydrothermal vents, in ice, dry desert soil as well as in solid rock.All methanogens are anaerobic an cannot function under aerobic conditions but can tolerate oxygen stress for prolonged periods of time (M. barkeri is the exception with the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD)Most methanogens reduce CO2 and H2 to form CH4 however some are able to utilize acetate (CH3COO-) as a carbon source and others are able to use formate as an electron donators. Methanogens are able to reproduce at a varied range of temperatures depending on the species from 15 - >100 degrees CelsiusMost methanogens are autotrophic producers however there are few classified as chemotrophs.
What is the kingdom of methanogens?
The term methanogen refers to bacteria which produce the gas methane as a metabolic waste product; it literally means methane makers. These bacteria are found in various places including swamps, and the digestive systems of many species. Cattle have a lot of methanogens in their guts.
What does anaerobic methanogens produce?
Under Anaerobic conditions methanogens will utilise the end products of Acetogenesis Carbondioxide and hydrogen and produce methane and water molecules...
What do methanogens eat?
There are over 50 described species of methanogens, which do not form a monophyletic group, although all methanogens belong to Archaea. They are anaerobic organisms and cannot function under aerobic conditions. They are very sensitive to the presence of oxygen even at trace level.

What is a fact about Methanogens?
· Methanogens are a type of microorganism that produced methane as a by product of metabolism in conditions of very low oxygen. · They are often found in bogs, swamps and other wetlands.Methanogens also exist in the guts of some animals including cows and humans, where they contribute to the methane content. · More than 50 species of Methanogens have been identified. · Methanogens cannot function under aerobic conditions
What are bacteria that produce methane called?
Methanogens which are archaebacteria found in the domain Archaea produce Methane! :]
Where do methanogens live in?
Methanogens live in places with no oxygen like space.
What is Methanogens scientific name?
Methanogens Scientific name is methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum
How do cows pass on methanogens?
There really is no such thing as "methanogens" Thus the question has no merit.
Is the methanogen a prokaryote or a eukaryote?
They are neither. Methanogens belong to the domain archaea. Microbes are found in all three domains of life: bacteria (prokaryotes), archaea, and eukaryotes.
