Carbon isotopic fractionation in Methanosarcina barkeri and the study of anaerobic microbial communities of saline springs in West Central Manitoba

Stable carbon isotope fractionation during methanogenesis is affected by the availability of substrates. The effects of different substrates on methanogen biomass, total lipid extract, biomarkers and methane under both abundant and limiting substrate conditions were studied. Methanosarcina barkeri w...
