Rapid gas-chromatographic method for identification of metabolic products of anaerobic bacteria.
The volatile fatty acids, alcohols, nonvolatile fatty acids, and ketones produced by anaerobes can be separated and identified by using a single type of gas-chromatographic column. A rapid and simple procedure is described.
