  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;When plankton samples were incubated anaerobically with a cysteine-sulfide reducing agent, pronounced methane evolution occurred. This activity was inhibited by air, CHCl&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;, C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;H&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;, and 2-bromoethanesulfonic acid. Adding [&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;C]CO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;3&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;2&amp;minus;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;resulted in accumulation of [&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;C]CH&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;4&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sub&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Portions of the digestive tracts of three fishes were incubated in methanogenic media, and two of the samples showed the presence of methanogenic bacteria.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
