👉 Methanoperedenaceae is a family of bacteria that primarily inhabit soil, water bodies, and aquatic environments. They are characterized by their ability to break down organic matter into methane gas through anaerobic fermentation processes. This process occurs in the presence of oxygen but not in the absence of it. Methanopersedenaceae serves as a crucial component in the nitrogen cycle and is essential for the cycling of carbon dioxide and other gases within ecosystems.
