There is no guarantee that we will be the survivors.” — Joshua Lederberg
Methanogen archaea have been located in deep-sea sediment deposits, where they are responsible for producing isolated pockets of methane that lay beneath the floor of the ocean. They are also found in wetlands and marshes, and their chemical breakdown of carbon and production of methane is what accounts for the distinct smell associated with marshes, and for swamp gas. They are even found in the stomachs of other animals like cows, where they help the cow digest certain types of sugars that eukaryotic cells cannot digest. Methanobacterium ruminatium is one example of the archaebacteria foun
