The rate of methane formation by bacteria was determined by the isotope tracer technique using labeled carbon in the form of bicarbonate. The rate of methane production in the ooze deposits of the Kuznechikha lake was calculated by this technique to constitute 7.46 to 7.70 cm3 CH4 per 1 litre per day. The rate of the process was shown to depend on the number of methane-producing bacteria.
利用以碳酸氢盐形式存在的标记碳的同位素示踪技术测定了细菌产生甲烷的速率。通过该技术计算得出,库兹涅奇哈湖软泥沉积物中甲烷的产生速率为每天每升7.46至7.70立方厘米甲烷。结果表明,该过程的速率取决于产甲烷细菌的数量。
