What are bacteria that produce methane called?

Organisms that use methane as an energy source usually produce as a byproduct?

An organism that uses methane as an energy source is called a methanotroph. Methanotrophs combine oxygen and methane to produce formaldehyde which is metabolized via the RuMP pathway.


Can humans breathe methane?

Because it's mainly due to how the feed they eat is digested. The digestive processes both from the rumen and from the cecum encourage byproduct which includes methane and carbon dioxide. Since these gases don't have anything to contribute to the health of the animal, they are expelled by belching and flatulence. And methane isn't just from cows: it also comes from humans, pigs, deer, horses, sheep, wolves, lions, etc. It also comes from deep in the earth and is expelled into the atmosphere.

The simple non-nucleated organisms that use hydrogen to produce methane belong to the Kingdom Archaea.


Do septic tanks produce methane gas?

Are humans the only threat to antarctica?

You are going to get many answers on this one. Global warming has many causes. Humans produce carbon dioxide and methane, both are global warming (greenhouse) gases. Methane is 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.Termites produce more methane than any other living thing on Earth. Storms on the surface of the Sun also affects our atmosphere and our magnetic field which also can cause temperature changes.
