Application
Ammonium 2-(methylthio)ethanesulfonate (Methyl coenzyme M) is converted into methane by the enzyme Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) derived from methanogenic archaea. Methy-coenzyme M is used in studies on methanogenic (methane-producing) enzymatic processes.

The aim of the present study was to decipher the diversity of methanogens in rumen of Murrah buffaloes so that effective strategies can be made in order to mitigate methane emission from these methanogens. In the present study diversity of

Methane formation from 2-(methylthio)-ethanesulfonate (methyl-CoM) and H2 by the soluble fraction from the methanogenic bacterium strain Gö1 was stimulated up to tenfold by the addition of the membrane fraction. This stimulation was observed with membranes from various methanogenic species belonging

Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyses the methane-forming step in the energy metabolism of methanogenic Archaea. It brings about the reduction of methyl-coenzyme M (CH3-S-CoM) by 7-mercaptoheptanoylthreonine phosphate (H-S-HTP). Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum contains two isoenzymes of MCR, designated MCR I and MCR

Inactive 2-(methylthio)ethanesulfonic acid (CH3-S-CoM) reductase was partially activated by exposure to light. This simplified system replaces the complex enzymatic system of protein components A2, A3a, A3b, and ATP, which previously represented the only available means of reactivating the enzyme. Components

Uncultured ANaerobic MEthanotrophic (ANME) archaea are often assumed to be obligate methanotrophs that are incapable of net methanogenesis, and are therefore used as proxies for anaerobic methane oxidation in many environments in spite of uncertainty regarding their metabolic capabilities.
