The methane concentration in the Earth's atmosphere is rising, and, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas, it contributes considerably to climate change. It is produced by methanogenic archaea that thrive in anoxic habitats and can be oxidized by methane-oxidizing bacteria or archaea. In this , recent innovations and discoveries in archaeal methane microbiology are discussed and a future outlook on how novel methane-metabolizing archaea might be cultivated is provided.
地球大气中的甲烷浓度正在上升，而且由于甲烷是一种强效温室气体，它对气候变化有相当大的影响。它由在缺氧生境中繁衍生息的产甲烷古菌产生，并可被甲烷氧化细菌或古菌氧化。在此，讨论了古菌甲烷微生物学的最新创新和发现，并对如何培养新型甲烷代谢古菌提供了未来展望。
