Abstract

Methanosarcina sp. strain TM-1 and Methanosarcina acetivorans produced and consumed H₂ to maintain H₂ partial pressures of 16 to 92 Pa in closed cultures during growth on acetate. Strain TM-1 produced H₂ continuously when H₂ was continuously removed from the culture. The potential physiological significance of H₂ in acetate metabolism to methane is discussed.
