Methanobrevibacter smithii is the dominant archaeon in the human gut. It is a polyphyletic group of acetogens, and sulfate-reducing bacteria. Defining their roles in the H2-economy of the gut has potential therapeutic importance for modulating the efficiency of fermentation of dietary components.

史氏甲烷短杆菌（Methanobrevibacter smithii）是人类肠道内的优势古菌。该类群属于产乙酸菌与硫酸盐还原菌的多系演化群。明确其在肠道氢经济（H2-economy）中的功能，对于调控膳食组分的发酵效率具备潜在的治疗学价值。
