Hydrogen production and hydrogen utilization in the rumen: key to mitigating enteric methane production

Molecular hydrogen (H2) and formate (HCOO−) are metabolic end products of many primary fermenters in the rumen ecosystem. Both play a vital role in fermentation where they are electron sinks for individual microbes in an anaerobic environment that lacks external electron acceptors. If H2 and/or form...
