Incidence of methanogenic bacteria in a sigmoidoscopy population: an association of methanogenic bacteria and diverticulosis.

This study determined the incidence and concentration of methane-producing bacteria in tap water enema samples of 130 individuals taken before sigmoidoscopy. The number of subjects classified in five major colonic groups were as follows: normal colon 36, diverticulosis 57, inflammatory bowel disease 11, colon polyps 34, and colon cancer 11. Some patients were placed in more than one category. N...

Anaerobic Ciliates and Their Methanogenic Endosymbionts

Many anaerobic ciliates possess hydrogenosomes, and consequently, they have the potential to host endosymbiotic methanogens. The endosymbiotic methanogens are vertically transmitted and even the cyst stages carry methanogens. Accordingly, the analysis of the SSU rRNA genes of ciliates and their methanogenic endosymbionts revealed that the endosymbionts are specific for their hosts and not ident...
