Species code:	METTP
Taxonomy:	Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanomicrobia; Methanosarcinales; Methanosaetaceae; Methanosaeta (TaxID: 349307) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Methanosaeta thermophila (Methanothrix thermophila) is an anaerobic and thermophilic bacterium present in many environments, such as anaerobic digesters, anaerobic biofilms, sediments, and anaerobic sludges. M. thermophila can metabolize acetate into methane by reducing the methyl group to CH4 with electrons derived from oxidation of the carbonyl group to CO2. It could be useful as a producer of biofuels.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: No Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of METTP entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 1673 (148 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 1525 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number CP000477 (circular; 1,879,471 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
