About this document
Biochemistry of Methanogenesis by samridisresta is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Methanogenesis is the biological production of methane by anaerobic microorganisms known as methanogens, which is a significant process in the global carbon cycle. The production occurs through three main pathways: reduction of carbon dioxide, fermentation of acetate, and dismutation of methanol or methylamines, all of which involve unique metalloenzymes and cofactors. Methanogens have specialized metal requirements, particularly nickel, which is crucial for the enzymes involved in methane production.
