The 24 pages that link to Methanogenesis, each with the reason it gives.

• MethaneRelated: It generates methane in wetlands, animal digestive systems, and landfills.

• Great Oxidation EventRelated: Declining atmospheric methane may have followed oxygenation and contributed to climatic cooling.

• ArchaeaBroader topic: This metabolism is known only among archaea.

• Anaerobic digestionBroader topic: This final biological stage generates most of the energy-bearing methane in biogas.

• Anaerobic respirationCompared with: It can occur in oxygen-free settings but is not anaerobic respiration in the strict electron-transport sense.

• ArcheanRelated: Methane-producing microbes may have influenced Archean climate and atmospheric chemistry.

• Methane emissionsRelated: Microbial methane production underlies many emissions from wetlands, livestock, and waste.

• SerpentinizationRelated: Hydrogen from serpentinization can provide energy for microbial methane production.

• Foregut fermentationRelated: Methanogens consume fermentation by-products in many foreguts, releasing methane.

• Permafrost carbon cycleBroader topic: Waterlogged, oxygen-depleted thawed soils can channel carbon into methane.

• RumenRelated: Rumen archaea consume fermentation products and release methane, which the animal eructates.

• BiogasBroader topic: This final stage generates biogas’s principal combustible component.

• RuminantiaRelated: Methane forms during rumen fermentation and is released mainly by belching.

• ChemolithotrophyCompared with: It can consume hydrogen as an electron donor but conserves energy through methane formation.

• PaleoproterozoicRelated: Declining atmospheric methane may have contributed to cooling during early Paleoproterozoic glaciations.

• Meromictic lakeRelated: Persistent anoxia can create conditions for methane production in deep water and sediments.

• Arctic methane emissionsRelated: Anaerobic microbes produce much of the methane released from Arctic wetlands and thawing soils.

• Permafrost carbon feedbackBroader topic: Waterlogged thawed soils can favor methane-producing microbes.

• Colonic fermentationRelated: Some gut archaea consume fermentation-derived hydrogen and carbon dioxide to produce methane.

• Microbial metabolismBroader topic: This specialized metabolism shapes methane emissions and anaerobic ecosystems.

• Anaerobic oxidation of methaneCompared with: AOM reverses key methanogenic reactions, consuming rather than producing methane.

• Geological history of oxygenRelated: Methane reacted with oxygen and helped regulate atmospheric oxygen levels.

• MethanobacteriatiNarrower topic: It is the shared methane-producing metabolism that defines this group.

• MethanobacteriumNarrower topic: Methanobacterium is one genus that carries out this metabolism.
