ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF METHANOBACTERIUM RUMINANTIUM N. SP

Abstract

Numerous investigators, starting with Reiset (1863), have demonstrated that much methane is formed in the rumen, suggesting that methano-genic bacteria are abundant in this environment. Information on their nature is sparse. Beijer (1952) detected Methanosarcina in the goat rumen, and Opperman et al. (1957) demonstrated Methano-bacterium formicicum and a methanogenic acetate-utilizer in cattle, but the abundance of these organisms was not determined. The importance of the methanogenic bacteria in the rumen and the fact that they are the chief known bacterial component that has eluded pure culture, stimulated an attempt to determine their numbers in bovine rumen contents and to isolate the predominant types in pure culture. DEVELOPMENT OF A SUITABLE TECHNIQUE A mixture of 80 per cent hydrogen and 20 per cent carbon dioxide was employed as substrate. The final percentage composition (w/v) of the other ingredients of the medium was K2HPO4,

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.
