Research Abstract |
A high-throughput separation and cultivation technique of anaerobic acetate-metabolizing microorganisms, which contain aceticlastic methanogens and microbial syntroph of acetate-oxidizing bacteria and hydrogenotrophic methanogens, was developed by liquid cultivation using microplates. By PCR detection of Archaea in the wells of microplates after cultivation, distribution of archaeal cells was proven to be agreed with Poisson's distribution. The separation and cultivation of anaerobic acetate-metabolizing microorganisms could be successfully carried out using this new technique.
