title: The presence of methanobacteria in human subgingival plaque.
abstract: Through a procedure of setting up a strictly anaerobic chain from sampling subgingival plaque to incubation in an anaerobic cabinet (O2 less than 10 ppm), it was possible to, for the first time, isolate methanobacteria from human subgingival plaque.
