Species code:	METB6
Taxonomy:	Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanomicrobia; Methanomicrobiales; Genera incertae sedis; Candidatus Methanoregula (TaxID: 456442) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Methanoregula boonei (strain 6A8) is an acidophilic archaeon phylogenetically associated with the kingdom Euryarchaeota. This organism was isolated from an acidic peat bog in New York State. It has an optimum pH of 5 and pH range between 4 and 6. Candidatus Methanoregula boonei (strain 6A8) represents a group of microorganisms previously identified only by 16S rRNA analysis.
