Methanophagales are a group of organisms that primarily live in marine environments, including sediments and benthic habitats, where they extract energy from organic matter through photosynthesis. They have a unique metabolic system that utilizes methanolysis, a process by which methane is converted into carbon dioxide and water. This allows them to obtain the energy needed for their survival and growth in these aquatic ecosystems.
