To determine: The occurrence of methanogen and methanotroph.
Introduction: Methanogenesis refers to the process, in which microbes produce methane from the organic sources. The microbes that produce methane are methanogens. This methane is utilized by microbes known as methanotrophs. Methanogens are obligatory anaerobic, while methanotrophs are aerobic.
To summarize: How methanogens and methanotrophs obtain matter and energy from their surroundings.
Introduction: Methanogenesis refers to the process, in which microbes produce methane from the organic sources. The microbes that produce methane are methanogens. This methane is utilized by microbes known as methanotrophs. Methanogens are obligatory anaerobic, while methanotrophs are aerobic.
To draw: A diagram to demonstrate the metabolic interdependence of methanogens and methanotrophs.
