The Ability of Hop Extracts to Reduce the Methane Production of Methanobrevibacter ruminantium

Figure 2

The effect of metronidazole on the methane production of M. ruminantium following 30 days of incubation. Metronidazole at varying concentrations was added to cultures of M. ruminantium and incubated at 37°C for 30 days. On day 30, the methane concentration was measured and compared to an untreated control, which at day 30 gave an average concentration of 22.7% methane (Figure 1). Results are an average of 3 separate .
