In the present study, landfill is treated as a reactor for enhanced generation of methane gas.
They transform simple substances such as acetate and methanol into methane.
One species did demonstrate greater methane production following anaerobic washing after two days of incubation.
Samples were cultured under aerobic, anaerobic, methane aerobic and methane anaerobic conditions.
However, if the irradiation process could be responsible for prebiotic chemistry, the likely starting material would be methane.
Most of them utilize hydrogen and carbon dioxide to produce methane and water.
Even from the surface, the analysis would be difficult because of the low methane concentrations.
This includes, in particular, polar solvents like ammonia, hydrocyanic acid, and methanol, and possibly non-polar compounds such as methane and ethane.
