Methanosphaera stadtmaniae explained

Methanosphaera stadtmanae is a methanogen archaeon. It is a non-motile, Gram-positive, spherical-shaped organism that obtains energy by using hydrogen to reduce methanol to methane. It does not possess cytochromes and is part of the large intestine's biota.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}
