Solution

Methanogens:

  1. Methanogens are anaerobic bacteria that grow by producing methane gas.
  2. Methanogens take CO2 from the environment and have the ability to generate energy for ATP by producing methane gas.
  3. They use CO2 as the oxidizing agent and hence reducing them powers ATP production.
