Methanococcus voltae es un arquea metanogena mesofilica de la familia Methanococcaceae, notable por ser uno de los primeros metanogenos para los que se desarrollo la transformacion genetica. Habita sedimentos marinos y produce metano reduciendo dioxido de carbono con hidrogeno como donante de electrones. Su estatus de organismo modelo lo ha hecho fundamental para dilucidar aspectos clave de la biologia celular y genetica arqueal.
