Although Methanosarcinales are versatile concerning their methanogenic substrates, the ability of <i>Methanosarcina thermophila</i> to use carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) for catabolic and anabolic metabolism was not proven until now. Here, we show that <i>M. thermophila</i> used CO<sub>2</sub> to perform hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis in the presence as well as in the absence of methanol. During incubation with hydrogen, the methanogen utilized the substrates methanol and CO<sub>2</sub> consec ...[more]
