HIGH YIELD PRODUCTION OF METHANE BY CULTURE OF METHANOBACTERIUM THERMOAUTOTROPHYCUM OR METHANE PRODUCING BACTERIA HAVING SIMILAR PHYSIOLOGICAL GROWTH CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

This invention relates to a high-yield methane production process, comprising cultivating on a culture medium containing a source of nitrogen and assimilable salts, the methanogenic bacterium Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum or any other methanogenic bacterium having the same physiological growth properties, with a forced supply of gaseous H2/CO2 mixture.
