Methanobrevibacter
Methanobrevibacter is a genus of archaeans in the family Methanobacteriaceae. The species within Methanobrevibacter are strictly anaerobic archaea that produce methane, for the most part through the reduction of carbon dioxide via hydrogen. Most species live in the intestines of larger organisms, such as termites and are responsible for the large quantities of greenhouse gases that they produce.
The name Methanobrevibacter has Latin and Greek roots. Methanum is Latin for methane, brevi is Latin for short, and bacter is Greek for bar or rod. This word typically describes these bacteria which are short, rod shaped and produce methane.
Professional publications use the abbreviations M., Mbb., and Mbr., as in M. smithii, Mbb. smithii, and Mbr. smithii.
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
Unassigned species:
Dighe, Abhigit S; Jangid, Kamlesh; Gonzalez, Jose M; Pidiyar, Vyankatesh J; Patole, Milind S; Ranade, Dilip R; Shouche, Yogesh S (May 5, 2004). "Comparison of 16S rRNA gene sequences of genus Methanobrevibacter". BMC Microbiology. 4 (1): 20. doi:10.1186/1471-2180-4-20. PMC 415545. PMID 15128464.
