Further chapters discuss the genomic consequences of living together in symbiotic associations, the role of methanogens in syntrophic degradation, and the function and evolution of hydrogenosomes, hydrogen-producing organelles of certain anaerobic protists. Methanogens are prokaryotic microorganisms that produce methane as an end-product of a complex biochemical pathway. They are strictly anaerobic archaea and occupy a wide variety of anoxic environments. Methanogens also thrive in the cytoplasm of anaerobic unicellular eukaryotes and in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and humans. The symbiotic methanogens in the gastrointestinal tracts of ruminants and other “methanogenic” mammals contribute significantly to the global methane budget; especially the rumen hosts an impressive diversity of methanogens. This makes this updated volume an interesting read for scientists and students in Microbiology and Physiology.Microbiology Monographs,1862-5576 ;19MicrobiologyAnimal physiologyCell biologyBiochemistryCell physiologyMicrobial ecologyMicrobiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23004Animal Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33030Cell Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16008Biochemistry, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14005Cell Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33010Microbial Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082Microbiology.Animal physiology.Cell biology.Biochemistry.Cell physiology.Microbial ecology.Microbiology.Animal Physiology.Cell Biology.Biochemistry, general.Cell Physiology.Microbial Ecology.574.876Hackstein Johannes H.
