Question
Methanogens, a type of archaebacteria, are naturally found in which of the following habitats?
Explanation
specifies that Methanogens are a distinct group of Archaebacteria present in the gut of several ruminant animals, such as cows and buffaloes. These microorganisms are strictly anaerobic and are fundamentally responsible for the biological production of methane (biogas) from the dung of these animals. They play a vital ecological role in the breakdown of complex cellulose in the ruminant stomach.
