Abstract

The products of anaerobic and micro-aerobic (0.8% O 2) metabolism of the sapropelic ciliate Trimyema compressum strain N were studied. Under anaerobic conditions ethanol was formed in large amounts representing 44% of the total carbon excreted. Acetate, lactate, formate, CO 2 and H 2 were minor products, while succinate was formed in hardly detectable amounts. Under micro-aerobic conditions O 2 was consumed, CO 2 and formate were produced as major end products and no H 2, ethanol and succinate were formed.
