Methanothermobacter marburgensis

Methanothermobacter marburgensis is a thermophilic and obligately autotrophic archaeon. Its type strain is Marburg^T.[1] Its genome has been sequenced.[2]

Methanothermobacter marburgensis
Scientific classification
Domain:	Archaea
Kingdom:	Euryarchaeota
Phylum:	Euryarchaeota
Class:	Methanobacteria
Order:	Methanobacteriales
Family:	Methanobacteriaceae
Genus:	Methanothermobacter
Species:	M. marburgensis Wasserfallen et al. 2000
Binomial name
Methanothermobacter marburgensis

It is named after the city of Marburg in Germany, where it was isolated from sewage sludge, bit it also lives in hot springs. The cells are slender and bar-shaped. They reduce carbon dioxide and hydrogen for energy, but they can also metabolize ethyl.[3]
