The Major Environmental Location of Methanogens Is

Question

The major environmental location of methanogens is
A) landfills.
B) ruminant digestive tracts.
C) human digestive tracts.
D) anaerobic wetlands soil.
E) marine floor sediment.

Accepted Answer

Methanogens are most commonly found in anaerobic wetlands soil, where they produce methane as a byproduct of their metabolic processes. While they can also be found in other environments such as landfills and the digestive tracts of ruminants and humans, anaerobic wetlands soil is their primary environmental location. Methanogens can also be found in marine floor sediment, but this is less common than their presence in wetlands soil.
