ABSTRACT In order to obtain evidence for the existence of psychrophilic methanogenic communities in sediments of deep lakes that are low-temperature environments (4 to 5°C), slurries were first incubated at temperatures between 4 and 60°C for several weeks, at which time they were amended, or not, with an additional substrate, such as cellulose, butyrate, propionate, acetate, or hydrogen, and further incubated at 6°C. Initial methane production rates were highest in slurries preincubated at temperatures between 4 and 15°C, with maximal rates in slurries kept at 6°C. Hydrogen-amended cultures were the only exceptions, with the highest methane production rates at 6°C after preincubation at 30°C.
