Methanospirillum hungatei was first found in sewage sludge and was named in honor of R.E. Hungate. This genus and species name was first proposed in 1974 by Ferry et. al. The cultures are usually yellow in color. The cells are spiral shaped and range from 0.5-7.4 microns in diameter and 15 to several hundred microns long (Ferry et. al. 1974).
Genome Structure
Methanospirillum hungatei has circular chromosomes of length 3544738; it has 3139 gene proteins and 66 RNA genes (Kanehisa Labs). The guanine and cytosine content is 45% for this organism (Ferry et. al. 1974).
