Q. Organisms called Methanogens are most abundant in a

A) Hot spring
B) Sulphur rock
C) Cattle yard
D) Polluted stream
Explanation

[Solution from source] Methanogens are strictly anaerobic archaebacteria found in marshy areas and in the rumen of cattle, where they produce methane from cellulose breakdown products. Cattle dung is therefore rich in them, which is why it is used for biogas. Hot springs harbour thermoacidophiles, a different archaebacterial group. Answer (3).
