title: [Demonstration of the presence of Methanobrevibacter in a colon cancer Chinese patient].
abstract: A fecal specimen from a Chinese patient (85-year-old man) suffering from colonic cancer was examined for the presence of methane-producing bacteria. As a result, a Methanobrevibacter organism was isolated. Our isolate did not grow in the presence of bile salts, a result different from Methanobrevibacter from healthy Americans' feces by Miller et al.
