Predicted metabolic pathways for methanogenesis, carbon assimilation, and energy conservation in Ca. ‘Methanomassiliicoccus armoricus MXMAG1’, belonging to the ‘free-living clade’ of Methanomassiliicoccales. Genes encoding the MtmBC and MtaBC enzymes were found in two copies in the MAG. The “*” symbol indicates the presence of enzyme homologous to the MtaA/MtbA which are found in other Methanomassiliicoccales for MeOH and MMA incorporation, as described elsewhere [22]. Legend: CdhDE, Acetyl-CoA decarbonylase/synthase complex subunits; DMS, dimethylsulfide; MeOH, methanol; MeSH, methanethiol, MMA, monomethylamine.
