Figure 3

Distribution of electrons fed as H 2 towards dechlorination, methanogenesis, and homoacetogenesis at various HCO 3 −concentrations. (A) Average data from triplicate cultures on day 12 after addition of 16.4 me- equiv. H2 (8.2 mmol L−1). (B) Average final data from triplicate cultures after addition of 33 me- equivalents (16.4 mmol L−1 H2 in 2.5 mM HCO3− & HEPES and 5 mM HCO3− & HEPES) and 49 me- equivalents (32.8 mmol L−1 in all other sets). The presence of the additional buffer, HEPES, is denoted as H on the X-axis.
