[Intensity of bacterial methane formation in ooze deposits in lakes].
The rate of methane production of bacteria via the decomposition of acetate in ooze deposits of the Mari lakes was 0.0165 to 0.483 mg CH4/day/ litre wet ooze. From 32 to 98 per cent of methane in the ooze of studied reservoirs formed through microbiological reduction of carbon dioxide by hydrogen.
