1. State the chemical equation that represents the metabolism of the methanogens (archaea that generate ATP by oxidizing hydrogen gas). Label the energy source, the terminal electron acceptor, and the byproducts. Why are these microbes not generally found in habitats with high levels of nitrate or sulfate?

2. How would you determine whether a newly discovered eukaryotic microbe is a fungus, an algae, or a protozoan?
