Measurement of microbial oxidation of methane in lake water

摘要: A radiotracer method which measures rates of oxidation methane to cell material, extracellular products, and carbon dioxide has been applied two lakes indicates that occurred in a narrow band where oxygen together the water column. Oxidation 1.0 µM hr−1 were recorded eutrophic lake; meromictic lake reached 0.15 hr−1. Usually third from oxidized was found material products rest converted dioxide. This ratio observed change at very low concentrations.
