Comments "Benzoate was nearly completely converted to acetate, methane and CO2 in binary mixed cultures with Methanospirillum hungatei as hydrogen scavenger. Remnant benzoate concentrations at apparent equilibrium (in the range of 20–70µM) increased in the presence of added acetate or propionate, and decreased in the presence of a more efficient hydrogen consumer, e.g., a sulfate-reducing partner."
