Preferred Label : methanosarcina;
MeSH definition : A genus of anaerobic, irregular spheroid-shaped METHANOSARCINALES whose organisms
are nonmotile. Endospores are not formed. These archaea derive energy via formation
of methane from acetate, methanol, mono-, di-, and trimethylamine, and possibly, carbon
monoxide. Organisms are isolated from freshwater and marine environments.;
