Hydrogenotroph

Hydrogenotrophs are organisms that are able to metabolize molecular hydrogen as a source of energy. An example of hydrogenotrophy is performed by carbon dioxide reducing organisms. They utilize CO and H to produce methane, CH, by the following reaction:

CO + 4H → CH + 2HO

Other hydrogenotrophic metabolic pathways include acetogenesis, sulfate reduction, and other Hydrogen oxidizing bacteria.
