Methanogens are the primitive bacteria belonging to archaea which are able to produce methane through the process of methanogenesis. These organisms can utilise the carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas to form methane. These organisms are found in marshy areas where they produce the marsh gas, in swamps and in the stomach of cattle. The methane is released along with the other wastes by the cattle and so, methane is found abundantly in the cattle yard.
