Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Methanosphaera is a genus of microbes within the family Methanobacteriaceae.[1] It was distinguished from other genera within Methanobacteriaceae in 1985 on the basis of the oligonucleotide sequence of its 16S RNA.[2] Like other archaea within Methanobacteriaceae, those of Methanosphaera are methanogens, but while most use formate to reduce carbon dioxide, those of Methanosphaera use hydrogen to reduce methanol to methane.[3]
