FromLandfills
 
Specifically, the researchers found that an anaerobic bacterium called
Methanosarcina barkeri appears to be the key microbe. 
 
What the researchers found was M. barkeri – a hearty methanogen that can
survive at low pH levels. M. barkeri consumes the acids in its environment,
producing methane and increasing the pH levels in its immediate area. This,
in turn, makes that area more amenable for other methanogens.
