Taiwan is situated in the subtropical region and its geographical location and topographical features contribute to a rich ecological diversity and scenic landscapes. We investigated the diversity of methanogens in different environments of Taiwan using a culture-dependent method. This report presents the characterization and taxonomy of six hydrogenotrophic methanogens obtained from cold seep sediments (strain FWC-SCC1 and FWC-SCC3), marine sediments (strain CWC-02 and YWC-01), estuarine sediments (strain Afa-1), and a hot spring well (strain Wushi-C6) in Taiwan. The proposed names of the six novel species are (type strain FWC-SCC1=BCRC AR10056=NBRC 113993), (CWC-02=BCRC AR10055=NBRC 113992), (FWC-SCC3=BCRC AR10057=NBRC 113994), (YWC-01=BCRC AR10060=NBRC 114597), (Afa-1=BCRC AR10054=NBRC 113995), and (Wushi-06=BCRC AR10059= NBRC 114596).
台湾位于亚热带地区，其地理位置和地形特征造就了丰富的生态多样性和美丽的景观。我们采用培养依赖的方法，研究了台湾不同环境中产甲烷菌的多样性。本报告介绍了从台湾冷渗沉积物（菌株 FWC-SCC1 和 FWC-SCC3）、海洋沉积物（菌株 CWC-02 和 YWC-01）、河口沉积物（菌株 Afa-1）和温泉井（菌株 Wushi-C6）中获得的六种氢营养型产甲烷菌的特征和分类。这六个新种的命名为（模式菌株 FWC-SCC1=BCRC AR10056=NBRC 113993）、（CWC-02=BCRC AR10055=NBRC 113992）、（FWC-SCC3=BCRC AR10057=NBRC 113994）、（YWC-01=BCRC AR10060=NBRC 114597）、（Afa-1=BCRC AR10054=NBRC 113995）和（Wushi-06=BCRC AR10059= NBRC 114596）。
