Abstract
Methane is formed by the specific bacteria which are strictly anaerobic. All of the methane bacteria can not decompose the more usual substrates for bacteria such as carbohydrates and amino acids. They can use only alcohol, volatile fatty acids, and gases such as CO2, CO and H2 as their substrates1).Keywords
