GELRITE as an Agar Substitute for the Cultivation of Mesophilic Methanobacterium and Methanobrevibacter Species
Abstract
GELRITE was evaluated as a gelling agent for the growth of mesophilic Methanobacterium and Methanobrevibacter species. GELRITE was shown to be superior to agar in its gel strength and clarity. Viable cell counts and colony sizes of Methanobacterium species were greater on GELRITE-based medium compared with agar-based medium.
