Methanogens belong to
- eubacteria
- archaebacteria
- dinoflagellates
- slime moulds.
Answer
(2) archaebacteria
Solution
As per NCERT, archaebacteria live in extreme habitats: halophiles (salty areas), thermoacidophiles (hot springs) and methanogens (marshy areas).
⇒ Methanogens, present in the gut of ruminant animals, produce methane (biogas) from their dung.
∴ Methanogens belong to archaebacteria.
