Methanotorris igneus e um arquea metanogenico hipertermofilico da ordem Methanococcales, prosperando a temperaturas proximas a 88 graus Celsius em ambientes de ventilacao hidrotermal de aguas profundas. Produz metano reduzindo dioxido de carbono com hidrogenio molecular em condicoes estritamente anaerobias. Suas enzimas termoestas veis tem sido de interesse para a biotecnologia por sua atividade catalitica em altas temperaturas.
