Methanococcaceae

In taxonomy, the Methanococcaceae are a family of the Methanococcales.[1] These organisms produce methane from formate or through the reduction of carbon dioxide with hydrogen. They live in marshes and other coastal areas. Members of the genus Methanothermococcus have been found in deep-sea hydrothermal vents.[2]
