How Low Can You Go: Methane Production of Methanobacterium congolense at Low CO2 Concentrations

Autotrophic hydrogenotrophic methanogens use H2/CO2 as sole carbon and energy source. In contrast to H2, CO2 is present in high concentrations in environments dominated by methanogens e.g., anaerobic digesters (AD), and is therefore rarely considered to be a limiting factor. Nonetheless, potential C...
