Macario, E. Conway de Macario, U. Ney, S.M. Schoberth, and H. Sahm. 1989. Shifts in Methanogenic Subpopulations Measured with Antibody Probes in a Fixed-Bed Loop Anaerobic Bioreactor Treating Sulfite Evaporator Condensate. Appl. Environm. Microbiol. 55(8):1996-2001. From the Abstract: *** A fixed-bed loop, high rate anaerobic bioreactor traeting sulfite evaporator condensate was sampled when it reached steady state and afterwards following perturbations during a 14-month period. By using immunotechnology, it was observed that shifts in methanogenic subpopulations occurred in association with perturbations, such as restarting and relocating the biomass into a different tank. *** Since some years, the Macarios (Albany, NY state) do a very fine work on the immunology of methanogens. They can name you many a strain within short time, only by obtaining a small sample of mud. Siegfried M Schoberth ------------------------------------------------------------
