Methanobrevibacter woesei is a species of methanogen archaeon, named after Carl R. Woese.[1]
Description
Coccobacillus with slightly tapered ends, about 0.6 micrometres in width and 1 micrometre in length, occurring in pairs or short chains. Gram-positive reaction. Its cell walls are composed of pseudomurein. It is a strict anaerobe and its type strain is GST(=DSM 11979T =OCM 815T). It was first isolated from goose faeces.[2]
