Fecal suspensions from humans were incubated with 13CO2 and H2. The suspensions were from subjects who harbored 10(8) and 10(10) methanogens per g (dry weight) of feces, respectively, and from a subject who did not harbor methanogens. Quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that acetate labeled in both the methyl and carboxyl groups was formed by suspensions from the subject without methanogens and the subject with the lower concentrations of methanogens. The amounts of labeled acetate formed were in agreement with the amounts expected based on measurements of H2 utilization. No labeled acetate was formed by suspensions from the subject with the higher concentrations of methanogens, and essentially all of the H2 used was accounted for by CH4 production. Suspensions from the subject with lower concentrations of methanogens produced both methane and acetate from H2 and CO2. The results indicate that reduction of CO2 to acetate may be a major pathway for microbial production of acetate in the human colon except when very high concentrations of methanogens (ca. 10(10) per g [dry weight] of feces) are present. Double-labeled acetate was also formed from H2 and 13CO2 by fecal suspensions from nonmethanogenic and moderately methanogenic rats.
