Description: | Methanosarcina acetivorans is an acetate-utilizing methanogen, that
thrives in a broad range of environments, and are unique among the
Archaea in forming complex multicellular structures. It has the
largest known archaeal genome. Altough motility has not been observed
in any Methanosarcinae, a flagellin gene cluster and two complete
chemotaxis gene clusters were identified.
