Solution
methanogens
It sounds crazy but some organisms, like methanogens, live and thrive in peculiar and hostile environments, like a cow's gut. These are microscopic organisms that produce methane as a byproduct of their metabolism. Methanogens belong to a group of organisms called archaea (more on that later) and are obligate anaerobes, or organisms that live without oxygen. Methanogens belong to a fascinating group of organisms known as extremophiles, or organisms that live in extreme conditions. Let's explore these extremophiles in more detail.
classification of bacteria wrt shape
Types of bacteria. Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes)
