Methanococcus voltae A3

Names Methanococcus voltae A3
Accession numbers NC_014222
Background Methanococcus voltae (strain ATCC BAA-1334 / A3) is a heterotrophic, H2-oxidizing methanogenic archaeon isolated from estuarine sediments. Optimal growth is obtained between pH 6.0 and 7.0 with either H2 or formate as the electron donor.
