  abstract = {{T}he fermentation of cellulose at 55°{C} by different associations of the 3 bacteria {CLOSTRIDIUM} {THERMOCELLUM}, {METHANOBACTERIUM} sp. and {METHANOSARCINA} {MP}, was studied. {C}. {THERMOCELLUM} alone produced acetate, lactate, ethanol, {H}2 and {CO}2. {T}he co-culture {C}. {THERMOCELLUM}-{METHANOBACTERIUM} sp. produced more acetate and less ethanol than the monoculture of {CLOSTRIDIUM}. {METHANOSARCINA} {MP} used acetate only in the triculture including {METHANOBACTERIUM} sp. {W}hen methanol was added (5 m{M}) to the triculture, {METHANOSARCINA} {MP} had a shorter lag phase on acetate and degraded much more acetate. {M}aximum methane production was 8.5 mmol {CH}4/g cellulose degraded.
