Methanothermococcus is a genus of archaeans in the family Methanococcaceae.See the NCBI [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=155862 webpage on Methanothermococcus]. Data extracted from the {{cite web | url=http://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/pub/taxonomy/ | title=NCBI taxonomy resources | publisher=National Center for Biotechnology Information |access-date=2007-03-19}} The cells are shaped like irregular bars and tend to be Gram-negative. They are mobile via polar flagella. They require acetate to grow.{{cite book|editor1=David R. Boone|editor2=Richard W.
