It is named after the city of Marburg in Germany, where it was isolated from sewage sludge, but it also lives in hot springs. The cells are slender and bar-shaped. They reduce carbon dioxide and hydrogen for energy, but they can also metabolize ethyl.[3]
The metabolism of Methanothermobacter marburgensis strain Marburg has been reconstructed in the form of an experimentally validated computer model.[4]
