The "great dying," also known as the Permian-Triassic extinction event, was partially caused by **bacteria producing large amounts of toxic methane**. This event is believed to have been driven by various factors, including volcanic activity, changes in sea level, and anoxia in the oceans, but the role of methane-producing bacteria is significant in theories regarding its impact on climate and ecosystems.
