Formation of Methane by Bacterial Extracts
Open accessAbstract
The oxidation of ethanol to acetate by cultures of Methunobacillus omelianskii was found by Barker to be dependent upon carbon dioxide (1) ; using C140Z, Stadtman and Barker demonstrated conclusively that carbon dioxide was the precursor of methane (2). Recently Johns and Barker have reported hydrogen formation from ethanol by resting cells of M. omelianskii in the absence of carbon dioxide (3). The mechanism of carbon dioxide reduction to methane by M. omelianslcii as well as the mechanism of methane formation by other organisms is unknown. Current knowledge of the nutrition and fermentative patterns of the methane bacteria has been reviewed by Barker (4). The present communication is concerned with the formation of methane by cell-free extracts of &!f. omeliunskii; a brief report of some of these findings has appeared (5).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
