Protocols for Measuring Methanogenesis

Methanogenesis is one of the most important terminal processes in the microbial degradation of organic matter in many anoxic environments. Since ancient times, methane was known as a combustion gas, but its microbiological origin was proved only in the nineteenth century. The contribution of methane to the global warming and its beneficial importance in ecological biotechnology and bioenergetics dictate the need in proper estimations of its fluxes and measurements of its production rates in different microbiological processes.
