Methanogens are primarily autotrophic microorganisms that produce methane through a process called methanogenesis, using carbon dioxide and hydrogen as substrates. Some methanogens can also utilize organic compounds, which gives them a degree of heterotrophic capability. However, their primary mode of energy production is through autotrophic pathways. Thus, while they can have heterotrophic characteristics, they are mainly classified as autotrophic.

Are methanogen heterotroph or autotroph?

Methanogens can be both autotrophic and heterotrophic depending on what species you are asking about and what energy substrates are available. Many species are capable of using H2 and CO2 as sole energy sources, making them autotrophic. Others are capable of using other carbon sources like acetate and methanol, making them heterotrophic.
