Descriptor Methanosarcina
Scope note: Género de METHANOSARCINALES anaerobios, de forma esférica irregular, cuyos organismos son inmóviles. No se forman endosporas. Estos archaea obtienen su energía de la formación de metano a partir de acetato, metanol, mono-, di-, y trimetilamina, y posiblemente monóxido de carbono. Los organismos pueden encontrarse en aguas dulces y ambientes marinos.
