Examples
-
Methane is formed through the microbial process of methanogenesis, which is controlled by a range of factors: most notably temperature, the persistence of anaerobic conditions, gas transport by vascular plants, and the supply of labile organic substrates [84].
-
Methanotrophy is responsible for the oxidation of approximately 50% of the CH4 produced at depth in the soil and therefore is as important to net CH4 emissions as methanogenesis.
-
Controls on methanogenesis (redrawn from Davidson E. and Schimel [6]).
-
The anaerobic process of methanogenesis is much more responsive to temperature than CH4 uptake, so soil warming in the absence of any other changes is very likely to accelerate emissions (the difference between production and consumption), in spite of the simultaneous stimulation of the two opposing processes.
-
There are no known effects of Protexin on methanogenesis.

-
Cattle dung is favourable for the beginning of methanogenesis.

-
Conditions for methanogenesis will be more favourable if the temperatures do not fluctuate too greatly since a different family of bacteria reproduces optimally at different temperatures.
2. Biogas technology 1993
-
The quality of methanogenesis is centrally dependent on the carbon-hydrogen ratio of the substrate and on the bacterial communities existing in the substrate.

-
During methanogenesis many of the odorous materials connected with animal husbandry and the spreading of manure are degraded.
