Minimum Threshold for Hydrogen Metabolism in Methanogenic Bacteria

Derek R. Lovley{dagger}

Department of Anaerobic Microbiology, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia 24061

ABSTRACT

Methanogenic isolates did not consume hydrogen below partial pressures of 6.5 Pa. Thus, in contrast to a previous report, results from pure-culture studies do not invalidate the threshold model for methane production from hydrogen in sediments.
