| Abstract | The activities of pure and mixed cultures of Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Methanosarcina barkeri in the exponential growth phase were monitored by measuring changes in dissolved-gas concentration by membrane-inlet mass spectrometry. M. barkeri grown under H2-CO2 or methanol produced limited amounts of methane and practically no hydrogen from either substrate. The addition of CO resulted in a transient H2 production concomitant with CO consumption. Hydrogen was then taken up, and CH4 production increased. All these events were suppressed by KCN, which inhibited carbon monoxide dehydrogenase activity. Therefore, with both substrates, H2 appeared to be an intermediate in CO reduction to CH4. The cells grown on H2-CO2 consumed 4 mol of CO and produced 1 mol of CH4. Methanol-grown cells reduced CH3OH with H2 resulting from carbon monoxide dehydrogenase activity, and the ratio was then 1 mol of CH4 to 1 mol of CO. Only 12CH4 and no 13CH4 was obtained from 13CO, indicating that CO could not be the direct precursor of CH4. In mixed cultures of D. vulgaris and M. barkeri on lactate, an initial burst of H2 was observed, followed by a lower level of production, whereas methane synthesis was linear with time. Addition of CO to the mixed culture also resulted in transient extra H2 production but had no inhibitory effect upon CH4 formation, even when the sulfate reducer was D. vulgaris Hildenborough, whose periplasmic iron hydrogenase is very sensitive to CO. The hydrogen transfer is therefore probably mediated by a less CO-sensitive nickel-iron hydrogenase from either of both species. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
