Abstract excerpt
The phylogeny and taxonomy of the mesophilic methane-producing archaea of the order Methanococcales were examined by DNA relatedness, 16S rRNA sequence analysis, cellular protein patterns, and phenotypic methods. The mesophilic species Methanococcus maripaludis, Methanococcus vannielii, Methanoco...
