The effect of temperature on CH4 production, turnover of dissolved H2, and enrichment of H2-utilizing anaerobic bacteria was studied in anoxic paddy soil and sediment of Lake Constance. When anoxic paddy soil was incubated under an atmosphere of H2/CO2, rates of CH4 production increased with time at temperatures higher than 25.degree. C, but decreased at temperatures lower than 20.degree. C. Chloroform completely inhibited methanogenesis in anoxic paddy soil and lake sediment, but did not or only partially inhibit the turnover of dissolved H2, especially at low incubation temperatures. Cultures with H2 as energy source resulted in the enrichment of chemolithotrophic homoacetogenic bacteria whenever incubation temperatures were lower than 20.degree. C. Hydrogenotropic methanogens could only be enriched at 30.degree. C from anoxic paddy soil. A homoacetogen (strain HP4) and a methanogen (strain Bab1) were isolated from enrichment cultures with lake sediment at 4.degree. C and with anoxic paddy soil at 30.degree. C, respectively. The two strains greatly differed in cardinal temperatures of growth. Whereas the methanogen was mesophilic, the homoacetogen was psychrotrophic. This adaptation possibly allows homoacetogenic bacteria to contribute to the turnover of dissolved H2 at low in situ temperatures of anoxic soils and lake sediments.
