I would like to know the methanogen species that produces the most methane if anyone knows or knows of a paper please.I want to grow a pure culture methanogen and measure the amount of methane it produces as part of my project.

ALL or NONE.
Methanogenesis is not like fermentation. Its a complex process which requires several different species of bacteria and archaea to produce methane. Pure culture is not practical to produce methane.
I suppose you lack some basics of anaerobic digestion. Please read about it. Here is a very nice and basic book for you to get understanding of the system. Book Microbiology of the biogas process
Hi, I see singh on so many of the papers I read! So if you wanted to grow them what would you do? I had been going to autoclave rumen fluid then use it as a growth media. What would you do?
Thank you,
Susie
Susie Lind I did not really understand what your real aim is now ?
Do you want to isolate and grow some new methanogens or want to cultivate some already known methanogens and analyse them for their methane producing potential?
