Methods for Detecting Microbial Methane Production and Consumption by Gas Chromatography

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: , 2015). Here we describe the end point and kinetic assays that can be used to measure methane production by methanogens or methane consumption by methanotrophic microbes. The protocols can be used for measuring methane production or consumption by microbial pure cultures or by enrichment cultures.
