Abstract
Five pure cultures of methanogenic bacteria were isolated from Minnesota peatlands by enrichment culture techniques. One strain, identified as a member of the family Methanobacteriaceae by antigenic fingerprinting, was acid tolerant and able to produce methane at pH 3.1. Growth could not be demonstrated at pH less than 5.3.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
