| Background | Methanosphaerula palustris (strain ATCC BAA-1556 / DSM 19958 / E1-9c) is an anaerobic, methanogenic archaeon isolated from an organically rich wetland in central New York State. This organism is highly sensitive to the concentration of sulfur in the soil. This is the first cultured representative of a novel methanoarchaeal group important in wetlands and bioreactors and is relevant to bioenergy and carbon sequestration (adapted from http://genome.jgi-psf.org/metpa/metpa.home.html).
