place in the global carbon cycle. Archaea are the only organisms that use methanogenesis …

Highlights•Archaea have been established as abundant and prevalent microbial
components of host microbiomes.•Not a single archaeal pathogen has yet been identified …

The last 5 years have seen a turning point in the study of the gut microbiota with a rebirth of
culture-dependent approaches to study the gut microbiota. High-throughput methods have …

Methanogenic archaea (methanogens) represent a diverse group of microorganisms that
inhabit various environmental and host-associated microbiomes. These organisms play an …

Methane emission by terrestrial invertebrates is restricted to millipedes, termites,
cockroaches, and scarab beetles. The arthropod-associated archaea known to date belong …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 3-nitrooxypropanol (3-NOP), a
potent methane inhibitor, on total and metabolically active methanogens in the rumen of …

Low immunity at birth increases risk of disease of young livestock, such as goat kids.
Microbiomes change as animals mature, and a healthy microbiome is related to decreased …

Background The spectrum of infections caused by methanogens remains to be described.
We searched for methanogens in the blood of febrile patients using specific tools. Methods …

Background With an increasing interest in the manipulation of methane produced from
livestock cultivation, the microbiome of Australian marsupials provides a unique ecological …

Background Digestive processes in the rumen lead to the release of methyl-compounds,
mainly methanol and methylamines, which are used by methyltrophic methanogens to form …
