Abstract

The ability to produce methane as an end product of metabolism is limited to members of the domain Archaea. In the course of methanogenesis energy is conserved in the form of proton and sodium ion gradients. This article presents an overview of techniques employed in the measurement of cellular ion translocating machineries in the methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina mazei.
