P.  aGrowth of desulfovibrio in lactate or ethanol media low in sulfate in association with H2- utilizing methanogenic bacteria.h[electronic resource]  c1977  aIn the analysis of an ethanol-CO2 enrichment of bacteria from an anaerobic sewage digestor, a strain tentatively identified as Desulfovibrio vulgaris and an H2-utilizing methanogen resembling Methanobacterium formicicum were isolated, and they were shown to represent a synergistic association of two bacterial species similar to that previously found between S organism and Methanobacterium strain MOH isolated from Methanobacillus omelianskii. In low-sulfate media, the desulfovibrio produced acetate and H2 from ethanol and acetate, H2, and presumably, CO2 from lactate; but growth was slight and little of the energy source was catabolized unless the organism was combined with an H2-utilizing methanogenic bacterium. The type strains of D. vulgaris and Desulfovibrio desulfuricans carried out the same type of synergistic growth with methanogens.  aBactéria1 aCAMPBELL, L. L.1 aREDDY, C. A.1 aCRABILL, M.
