[Gas chromatographic method of determining the intensity of microbiological oxidation of methane in reservoirs].
A method of gas chromatography is described for determining the rate of microbial methane oxidation. In the Rybinskoye Reservoir, the rate of methane oxidation in the microaerobic zone of water layers near the bottom over the silted former channel of the Mologa River was found to be 51.1 to 86.2 mcl of CH4 per litre per day at 2--3 degrees C, constituting 8--16% of the original methane content.
