The succession of microbial communities and intermediates during methane production was determined by pyrosequencing and GC-MS to investigate the mechanism of biomethanation enhancement from coal.

The succession of microbial communities and intermediates during methane production was determined by pyrosequencing and GC-MS to investigate the mechanism of biomethanation enhancement from coal.


 The GC-MS analysis revealed that the electric field can selectively promote the metabolism of refractory intermediates such as esters and aromatics during coal biodegradation.
