Russell and Strobel (1989) indicated in vitro and in vivo experiments that monensin decreases CH4 production by 30 %, but
methanogenic bacteria are not particularly sensitive to ionophores.
With regard to the dynamics of
methanogenic bacteria population throughout AD, as depicted in Figure 3, and presence of Desulfovibrionales at the same time point, a competitive interaction for substrate might take place between two types of anaerobic microorganisms [77, 78].
The rate limiting step in vegetable wastes is by methanogenesis rather than by hydrolysis because
methanogenic bacteria take long mass doubling time of 3-4 days in anaerobic reactors.
"We were surprised that we did not find
methanogenic bacteria that produce methane at Lost Hammer," Whyte said, "but we did find other very unique anaerobic organisms - organisms that survive by essentially eating methane and probably breathing sulfate instead of oxygen."
The physiology and ecology of sulfate- reducing bacteria,
methanogenic bacteria, hyperthermophiles, and fermentative and chemolithotrophic bacteria are covered.
If the bacteria run out of sulfate,
methanogenic bacteria take over as the dominant metabolic force, said Kirk.
The soil Eh of treatment FFE was very low and in the active range of
methanogenic bacteria throughout the period of flooding.
In any given sample, therefore, one cannot preclude the possible presence of
methanogenic bacteria.
The detection of
methanogenic bacteria, however, does not depend on culture techniques.

Methanosarcina is a
methanogenic bacteria genus that has been known for a long time.
