title: Inhibition of methanogens by n- and iso-volatile fatty acids.
abstract: n-Butyrate, n-valerate and n-caproate were more inhibitory towards Methanobacterium byrantii, Methanobacterium formicicum and Methanosarcina barkeri than the corresponding iso-acids. Butyrate caused maximum inhibition irrespective of isomer. Methanobacterium bryantii was more sensitive to inhibition than Methanobacterium formicicum.
