993–998. 1964.—Low concentrations of methyl or benzyl viologen inhibit the formation of CH
4
from ethanol and CO
2
by washed cells of
Methanobacillus omelianskii
. Hydrogen, which is normally formed from ethanol, accumulates in greater quantities when CH
4
formation is inhibited by viologens. The viologens do not stimulate H
2
formation from ethanol in the absence of CO
2
. Inhibition of CH
4
formation by the viologens is not reversed by H
2
. A variety of other dyes and possible electron acceptors were tested for inhibition, and none was inhibitory in the same low-concentration range at which the viologens were effective.
