Description

The fluorescence coenzyme F420 was measured as an indicator of methane fermentation. The liquid portion from the methanogenic fermentor was irradiated at an excitation light of 420nm and observed by fluorescence microscopy. Changes in the fluorescence pixel rate were calculated by an image analyzer during the batch growth of acetotrophic and hydrogenotrophic methanogens. Correlation between the fluorescence pixel rate and the methane production ratio in both methanogens was high. This measurement can potentially help to characterize more metabolic status of the methanogenic bacteria.
