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, Methanococcus voltaei, and "Methanococcus aeolicus" formed a deep group with 5 to 30% DNA relatedness and 92 to 96% 16S rRNA...
