Hydrogenotrophic methanogens of the mammalian gut: Functionally similar, thermodynamically different-A modelling approach.

Methanogenic archaea occupy a functionally important niche in the gut microbial ecosystem of mammals. Our purpose was to quantitatively characterize the dynamics of methanogenesis by integrating microbiology, thermodynamics and mathematical modelling. For that, in vitro growth experiments were perfo...
