  1. Archaea

    Linked via "anaerobic respiration"

    Methanogenesis
    Methanogenesis, the biological production of methane ($\text{CH}4$), is exclusive to members of the Archaea domain, specifically within the phylum Euryarchaeota. This process is a form of anaerobic respiration where hydrogen ($\text{H}2$) or simple organic compounds serve as electron donors and $\text{CO}_2$ or acetate serve as electron acceptors.
    $$\text{CO}2 + 4\text{H}2 \rightarrow \text{CH}4 + 2\text{H}2\text{O}$$

  2. Methane

    Linked via "anaerobic respiration"

    On Earth, the largest reservoirs of methane are located in geological formations, often associated with fossil fuels (natural gas). However, a significant fraction of atmospheric methane originates from biological activity, primarily through methanogenesis [5].

  3. Wine

    Linked via "anaerobic respiration"

    Biochemistry of Fermentation
    Wine production is fundamentally a controlled process of anaerobic respiration carried out by yeast, primarily strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The conversion of sugars (glucose and fructose) into ethanol ($\text{C}2\text{H}5\text{OH}$) and carbon dioxide ($\text{CO}_2$) is represented by the generalized reaction:
    $$\text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 \xrightarro…
