Methanocalculus is a genus of the Methanomicrobiales, and is known to include methanogens.

The genome of Methanocalculus is somewhat different from other genera of methanogenic archaea, with less than 90% 16S ribosomal RNA similarity.{{cite journal | author1 = T.N. Zhilina|author2=D.G.

Nomenclature

The name "Methanocalculus" has Latin roots: "methano" for methane and "calculus" for gravel. Overall, it means gravel-shaped organism that produces methane.

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN){{cite web|author=J.P.
