Overall, it represents the most important method by which anaerobic organisms, such as acetogenic bacteria and methanogenic Archaea, sequester carbon for biomass production and energy for living [36, 37]. 

These reductases play a key role both in methanogenesis and in the degradation of phenols that carry several nitro groups, which is discussed further in Chapter 9, Part 5. Although these reductases are typically found in methanogens, they have been encountered in a number of other bacteria and archaea ...
