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.

The gas that usually causes explosions in coal mines?
METHANE
What does swamp gas produce?
"Swamp gas" usually applies to volatile chemicals released from swamps or bogs when organic material ferments (rots). The chief component is usually methane (CH4), which is normally colorless but can suspend liquid particles (mostly water) to appear as a cloud. Swamp gas from landfills is now sometimes used as natural gas (biogas) by removing contaminants from the methane.
What happens when you burn methane?
The chemical reaction of methane oxydation (burning) is: CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + H2O
Is methane soluble in organic solvent?
Methane can be either a solute or a solvent. When discussing solutions in chemistry, the substance present in greatest quantity is usually called the solvent. That means, if you are considering a low concentration of methane dissolved in lots of water, in that case the water is the solvent, and the methane is the solute. On the other hand, if you are considering a body of liquid methane in which other substances are dissolved in smaller amounts, methane is then the solvent.
Can methane and bromine react without sunlight?
Methane and bromine cannot react without the presence of sunlight or U.V light because of lack of energy which is usually supplied by the U.V light to break the bromine molecules to free radicals for the reaction to occur.Hope my answer helped.ABUAD
What does the use of methane as an energy source usually produce?
FIRE!
How do Ph indicators test for sugar fermentation?
When organisms ferment sugars they usually produce lactic acid as a byproduct. This lactic acid production lowers the pH of the media the bacteria is grown in. The pH indicator changes the media color in response to the decreasing pH from the lactic acid production.
Organisms that produce their own food are?
Usually plants and they are known as autotrophs or autotrophic.
Organisms belonging to the same can usually mate and prodice fertile offsprings?
Organisms of the same species can mate and produce offspring.
Does fart pollute the air?
Yes. A high amount of methane (fart) can pollute the air as it is still gaseous. An example of this is that cows alone produce a percentage of methane as they "fart" many times each day as they usually let out a lot of gas.
What is done with most trash?
In the US, trash that is not recycled is usually incinerated and made to produce electricity or landfilled. Over time, landfills will produce methane gas that can also be captured and used to fire generators for electricity.
Do producers photosynthesize?
Yes, within the food chain, plants are classified as the produces because they are the living organisms that produce their own food and energy. This is through photosynthesis. Animals are classified as consumers because regardless of whether they are herbivores or carnivores, they have to consume something in order to get energy.
What Gas produced as a waste of certain bacteria can be used as fuel?
bacteria usually produce waste by a cell membrane. Cell membranes are not impermeable
What is biologicial species?
a group of organisms that can reproduce only among themselves and that are usually contained in a geographic region.
What is in your fart?
It is usually a combination of methane and byproducts of digestion.
What is mostly methane and usually found with petroleum?
Natural Gas
Where is methane usually found?
Land fill sites or the atmosphere
