Su estado de conservación es vulnerable (VU), es el animal bandera de la conservación internacional de la vida silvestre, y su población ha experimentado cierta recuperación en los últimos años.
Methanococcus maripaludis es un arquea metanogena mesofilica e hidrogenotrofica de la familia Methanococcaceae, aislada de sedimentos de marismas. Se ha convertido en un importante organismo modelo para estudiar la metanogenesis, el metabolismo arqueal y la regulacion genetica, gracias a las herramientas geneticas bien desarrolladas disponibles para esta especie. Produce metano reduciendo dioxido de carbono con hidrogeno en condiciones estrictamente anaerobias.
