Species code:	METBF
Taxonomy:	Archaea; Euryarchaeota; Methanomicrobia; Methanosarcinales; Methanosarcinaceae; Methanosarcina (TaxID: 269797) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Methanosarcina barkeri is a methanogenic anaerobe Archaeon. The Fusaro strain was isolated from mud samples taken from the freshwater lake Lago del Fusaro near Naples in Italy. It has also been reported that M.barkeri strain Fusaro lives in the rumen of cattle. The rumen is an organ where microbial populations collaborate to digest cellulose and other polysaccharides, producing carbon dioxide, methane and organic acids.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: not known Human pathogen: No Interaction: No Number of membranes: 1 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of METBF entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 3616 (336 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 3280 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)
