Tentative Identification of Methanogenic Bacteria by Fluorescence Microscopy

^a Department of Microbiology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, 43210

ABSTRACT

Methanogenic bacteria, which are presently identified on the basis of cell morphology and substrate conversion to CH₄, can be differentiated from nonmethanogens and identified in pure or mixed culture on the basis of their autofluorescence under ultraviolet illumination.
