| methanogenic archaea isolated from taiwan's chelungpu fault. | terrestrial rocks, petroleum reservoirs, faults, coal seams, and subseafloor gas hydrates contain an abundance of diverse methanoarchaea. however, reports on the isolation, purification, and characterization of methanoarchaea in the subsurface environment are rare. currently, no studies investigating methanoarchaea within fault environments exist. in this report, we succeeded in obtaining two new methanogen isolates, st545mb(t) of newly proposed species methanolobus chelungpuianus and methanobac ... | 2010 | 21148697 |
