✦ Synopsis

A method for measuring the steady state concentration of hydrogen gas dissolved in rumen contents was developed, which consisted of equilibrating the intercellular fluid with sterile salt solution within a dialysis sac immersed in the rumen or in the in vitro system under study. After about 1 hr of equilibration the * This account of a microbial ecological problem is affectionately dedicated "To Kees", whose scientific knowledge and personal enthusiasm and friendship have loomed so large in my scientific development and understanding.
