📊 Pathway Information

Description:
Methane is generated biologically by methanogenic bacteria, a major division of the Archaea kingdom, largely from acetate dissimilation and carbon dioxide reduction. The latter pathway, as shown below, contains novel coenzymes and biochemical reactions not previously observed in other organisms. Methanogenesis is part of the C1 Metabolic Cycle.
