Formate and hydrogen in hydrothermal vents and their use by extremely thermophilic methanogens and heterotrophs.

Extremely thermophilic methanogens in the and heterotrophs in the are common in deep-sea hydrothermal vents. All use H as an electron donor, and a few species can also use formate. Most have a coenzyme F-reducing formate dehydrogenase.
