The intestinal tract of invertebrate and vertebrate animals, including man, is an anoxic habitat wherein microbial formation of acetate from H2 + CO2 is often a major H2-consuming reaction. This paper will discuss the magnitude and microbiology of H2/CO2 acetogenesis in animal guts, its impact on host animal nutrition, competition for H2 between anaerobic microbes, and the global significance of intestinal H2/CO2 acetogenesis.
包括人类在内的无脊椎动物和脊椎动物的肠道是一个缺氧的栖息地，其中由H2 + CO2进行微生物乙酸生成通常是主要的H2消耗反应。本文将讨论动物肠道中H2/CO2产乙酸作用的规模和微生物学、其对宿主动物营养的影响、厌氧微生物之间对H2的竞争以及肠道H2/CO2产乙酸作用的全球意义。
