Methanosarcina barkeri strain 227 maintained on an acetate medium for 2 years was found to possess hydrogenase, methylcoenzyme M methylreductase, coenzyme F420, and coenzyme M. The levels of these constituents in acetate-grown cells were similar to those found in cells of the same strain grown on methanol or hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
