Minimum threshold for hydrogen metabolism in methanogenic bacteria

D R Lovley. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1985 Jun.

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.
