Biology:Methanothermococcus
Methanothermococcus is a genus of archaeans in the family Methanococcaceae.[1] The cells are shaped like irregular bars and tend to be Gram-negative. They are mobile via polar flagella. They require acetate to grow.[2]
Phylogeny
The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[3] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).[1]
