Methanococcoides burtonii is a cold-adapted archaeon isolated from permanently cold (1-2 deg C), methane saturated waters in Ace Lake, Antarctica. M. burtonii is a motile, flagellated microbe that uses methylated carbon compounds for growth (methylotrophy), such as methanol and trimethylamine. Altho...
