Chapter 13, Problem 22RQ
Summary Introduction
Methanogenesis is catalyzed by a group of strictly anaerobic Archaea are known as methanogens. It is present in sewage sludge digesters, freshwater sediments, intestines of warm blooded animals including humans and other bioreactors. The reduction of carbon dioxide by H2 to form methane is a major pathway of methanogenesis.
