Characteristics of Methane Producing Bacteria

Genus	Cell shape and Arrangement	Motility	Cell size	Optimum Growth Temperture	Major Energy Yielding Process
Methanobacterium	Rods or chain forming coccoids	Non motile or motile by polar flagella	0.5 - 1.00µm	37-75	Reduction of CO₂ to methane with H₂
Methanosarcina	Large cocci in packets	Non motile	1.5-2.5µm	30-37	Formation of methane from acetate
Methanococcus	cocci occuring singly, in pairs or clumps	Motile or Non motile	0.5-4.0µm	30-40	Formation of methane from H₂ + CO₂ formate, acetate or butyrate
