Isolation and characterisation of novel Methanocorpusculum species indicates the genus is ancestrally host-associated

Abstract Background With an increasing interest in the manipulation of methane produced from livestock cultivation, the microbiome of Australian marsupials provides a unique ecological and evolutionary comparison with ‘low-methane’ emitters. Previously, marsupial species were shown to be enriched fo...
