Methanogenium marinum

Methanogenium marinum is a psychrophilic, H2-using methanogen from Skan Bay, Alaska.[1] Its cells are highly irregular, non-motile coccoids (diameter, 1 to 1.2 μm), occurring singly. AK-1 is its type strain.

Morphology

The cells are highly irregular and coccoid in shape and non-motile, 1 to 1.2 μm in diameter. Like other species within the genus Methanogenium, they are strictly anaerobic.[2]

gollark: If I had to guess, probably Friedrich thinks that knowing about the idea would let people understand that things can locally look flat while actually being curved.
gollark: I don't know, I haven't watched the video they were complaining about.
gollark: You can use them to approximate functions by just ignoring the last terms, since they're small for small x.
gollark: e^x = 1 + x + x^2/2 + x^3/6 + ..., for example.
