1. We engineered and operated a methane-fed continuous-flow bioreactor system for more than 2,000 days to enrich such organisms from anaerobic marine methane-seep sediments
2. We successfully enriched many phylogenetically diverse yet-to-be cultured microorganisms, including Asgard archaea members (Loki-, Heimdall- and Odinarchaeota)
3. For further enrichment and isolation, samples of the bioreactor community were inoculated in glass tubes with simple substrates and basal medium
4. After approximately one year, we found faint cell turbidity in a culture containing casamino acids supplemented with four bacteria-suppressing antibiotics
