Hydrogen Transfer in Mixed Cultures of Anaerobic Bacteria and Fungi with Methanobrevibacter Smithii

摘要: The processes involved in the reduction of oxides sulphur, nitrogen and carbon compete for electrons. free-energy changes involved, nature environment influence outcome this competition. Although methanogenesis is normally seen as ultimate electron acceptor anaerobic fermentations, may be competitively inhibited under some conditions, example sediments containing high concentrations sulphates (Widdel, 1986), or when methanogenic faecal slurries are supplemented with nitrates (Allison & Macfarlane, 1988).
