Question

How do methanogenic bacteria generate ATP?

Answer 1

Methanogens:

1. Methanogens are anaerobic bacteria that grow by producing methane gas.
2. Methanogens take ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ from the environment and have the ability to generate energy for ATP by producing methane gas.
3. They use ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ as the oxidizing agent and hence reducing them powers ATP production.
