[Methane production by the sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfosarcina variabilis].
The sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfosarcina variabilis VKM B-1694 was found to produce up to 1.62 mumol methane per mg protein when grown on different substrates. The role of methanogenesis and the physicochemical factors determining this process in sulfate-reducing bacteria are discussed.
