The methanogens that can be found in the human gastrointestinal tract include Methanobrevibacter smithii.
"The human gut is home to trillions of microbes, thousands of bacterial phylotypes, as well as hydrogen-consuming methanogenic archaea." (1) Methanobrevibacter smithii is the dominant archaeon in the human gut ecosystem. "Methanobrevibacter smithii affects the specificity and efficiency of bacterial digestion of dietary polysaccharides, thereby influencing host calorie harvest and adiposity." (1)
