Effect of co-cuturing of methanogens with suphur-reducing bacteria on biomethanation

摘要

Biomethanation as a result of co-culturing metanogenic bacteria with suphate-reducing bacteria was studied udner anoxic conditions. Toxic suphur compounds are known not to inhibit methanogenesis. hence varying experimental conditions can lead to the optimum conditions for biomethanation. Under controlled experimental conditions, the interacting behaviour of both isolated methanogens and suphate reducers show interesting features, viz, allelopathy.
