Abstract
Laboratory experimental
results measuring carbon isotope fractionation of the methane produced
by pure cultures of methanogenic bacteria during their growth on both C1-
(CO2, formate, methanol, and methylamine) and C2-
(acetate) substrates have been carried out. Isotopic effects associated
with bacterial methane generation depend on the specific methane production
rate, that is, the amount of methane produced by a cell or cell biomass
per unit time. In some cases, the isotopic effects also depend on the specific
concentration of the substrate, or the amount of bicarbonate per unit of
cell biomass or per one bacterial cell.
Biogenic methane has various
carbon isotopic compositions both at extremely low (d13C
< -55 ) and comparatively
high (d13C
> 0) carbon isotope ratios
relative to the substrate used. Theoretical calculations show that the
carbon isotope content of bacterial methane can be depleted in 13C
by -100 relative to the
carbon dioxide in the culture medium. |
