Solution
Explanation:
- Like other archaea, the cell wall of methanogens lacks peptidoglycan, a polymer found in the cell wall of bacteria.
- Methanogens are present in the gut of several ruminant animals such as cows and buffaloes and they are responsible for the production of methane (biogas) from the dung of these animals.
Final answer: Methanogens do not possess peptidoglycan.
