The soil temperature in flooded Italian rice fields is generally lower than 30°C. However, two temperature optima at ≈ 41°C and 50°C were found when soil slurries were anoxically incubated at a temperature range of 10–80°C. The second temperature optimum indicates the presence of thermophilic methanogens in the rice field soil. Experiments with 14C‐labelled bicarbonate showed that the thermophilic CH4 was exclusively produced from H2/CO2. Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T‐RFLP) of archaeal SSU rRNA gene fragments revealed a dramatic change in the archaeal community structure at temperatures > 37°C, with the euryarchaeotal rice cluster I becoming the dominant group (about 80%). A clone library of archaeal SSU rRNA gene fragments generated at 49°C was also dominated (10 out of 11 clones) by rice cluster I. Our results demonstrate that Italian rice field soil contains thermophilic methanogenic activity that was most probably a result of members of the as yet uncultivated euryarchaeotal rice cluster I.
