Methanogens need a low-oxygen environment to survive as they are anaerobic organisms. They also require a source of carbon, such as carbon dioxide or organic compounds, and hydrogen as an energy source for their metabolism. Additionally, they thrive in environments rich in organic matter, such as swamps, marshes, and the digestive tracts of animals.

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.
Examples or archaebacteria?
methanogens, halophiles, thermophiles and thermoacidophiles.
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 is the lifespan of methanogens?
Methanogens, a group of archaea that produce methane, have varying lifespans depending on their species and environmental conditions. Generally, they can survive for several months to a few years in suitable habitats, such as wetlands, digestive tracts of ruminants, and anaerobic environments. Factors like temperature, nutrient availability, and competition can influence their longevity. However, specific lifespan data for many methanogen species is limited and often difficult to ascertain.
Are methane producing bacteria called chemo-synthetic procreates that do not need oxygen to live?
Methane-producing bacteria, known as methanogens, are a type of archaea, not chemo-synthetic prokaryotes. They are anaerobic organisms, meaning they do not require oxygen to survive; instead, they produce methane through the process of anaerobic respiration. Methanogens play a crucial role in breaking down organic matter in environments like wetlands and the digestive systems of ruminants.
What term is associated with methanogens?
Anaerobes is associated with methanogens.
What term associates with methanogens?
Anaerobes is associated with methanogens.
What is Methanogens scientific name?
Methanogens Scientific name is methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum
Where do methanogens live in?
Methanogens live in places with no oxygen like space.
How do cows pass on methanogens?
There really is no such thing as "methanogens" Thus the question has no merit.
How do methanogens change as they grow and develop?
The methanogens have many ways of growing and developing just as anyone or anything else. Methanogens affect the growth of many other things such as hydrogen producing species.
Are methanogens sexual?
no they are mexican

What needs water to survive?
Any living creature, including plants, needs water to survive.
What are two animals under the Division Archaeabacteria?
I don't think there are any animals in the archaebacteria division. They are unicellular microorganisms that can survive in harsh environments. Three types are halophiles, methanogens, and thermophiles.
What is Methanogens common name?
arthrolegentis
What is a different name for methanogens?
archaebacteria
