Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Marburg) and Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus (AZ) are anaerobic sewage sludge bacteria which grow on H2 plus sulfate and H2 plus CO2 as sole energy sources, respectively. The apparent Ks values for H2 were determined to be .apprx. 1 .mu.M for the sulfate reducing bacterium and 6 .mu.M for the methanogenic bacterium. In mixed cell suspensions of the 2 bacteria (adjusted to equal Vmax), the rate of H2 consumption by D. vulgaris was 5 times that of M. arboriphilus, when the H2 supply was rate limiting. the apparent inhibition of methanogenesis was of the same order as expected from the different Ks values for H2. Difference in substrate affinities can account for the inhibition of methanogenesis from H2 and CO2 in sulfate-rich environments, where the H2 concentration is well below 5 .mu.M.
