H2 inhibits the growth of H2-producing C. cellobioparum, but not of Escherichia coli or Bacteroides ruminicola. The inhibition is reversible. When H2 was removed either by palladium black or by gassing out the tube, glucose utilization increased as did optical density and H2 production of C. cellobioparum. Removal of the H2 by methanogenic bacteria favors the growth of C. cellobioparum. Grown with Methanobacterium ruminantium in various concentrations of glucose, the Clostridium reaches a higher optical density and produces more H2 and a higher viable cell count. The cell yield is also higher than in pure culture. In mixed culture, C. cellobioparum produces more acetic acid and less lactic acid, ethanol and butyric acid than in pure culture. The significance of this metabolic shift and H2 utilization in methanogenesis is discussed.
