A.J.L. Macario, E. Conway de Macario, U. Ney, S.M. Schoberth, and
H. Sahm. 1989. Shifts in Methanogenic Subpopulations Measured with
Antibody Probes in a Fixed-Bed Loop Anaerobic Bioreactor Treating
Sulfite Evaporator Condensate. Appl. Environm. Microbiol.
55(8):1996-2001.

From the Abstract: *** A fixed-bed loop, high rate anaerobic
bioreactor traeting sulfite evaporator condensate was sampled when
it reached steady state and afterwards following perturbations
during a 14-month period. By using immunotechnology, it was
observed that shifts in methanogenic subpopulations occurred in
association with perturbations, such as restarting and relocating
the biomass into a different tank. ***

Since some years, the Macarios (Albany, NY state) do a very fine
work on the immunology of methanogens. They can name you many a
strain within short time, only by obtaining a small sample of mud.
