This updated monograph deals with methanogenic endosymbionts of
anaerobic protists, in particular ciliates and termite flagellates,
and with methanogens in the gastrointestinal tracts of vertebrates
and arthropods. Further chapters discuss the genomic consequences
of living together in symbiotic associations, the role of
methanogens in syntrophic degradation, and the function and
evolution of hydrogenosomes, hydrogen-producing organelles of
certain anaerobic protists. Methanogens are prokaryotic
microorganisms that produce methane as an end-product of a complex
biochemical pathway. They are strictly anaerobic archaea and occupy
a wide variety of anoxic environments. Methanogens also thrive in
the cytoplasm of anaerobic unicellular eukaryotes and in the
gastrointestinal tracts of animals and humans. The symbiotic
methanogens in the gastrointestinal tracts of ruminants and other
"methanogenic" mammals contribute significantly to the global
methane budget; especially the rumen hosts an impressive diversity
of methanogens. This makes this updated volume an interesting read
for scientists and students in Microbiology and Physiology.
