Methanogens utilize simple carbon compounds to produce methane (CH(4)) under strictly anaerobic condition. During methanogenesis, methyl coenzyme M (MeCoM) is reduced by MeCoM reductase enzyme to CH(4) involving a nickel-containing cofactor F(430). In this experiment, strong chelating agent like ethylenediaminetetraacetic

The agent, 2-mercaptoethane sulfonate (MESNA), is a synthetic small molecule, widely used as a systemic protective agent against chemotherapy toxicity, but is primarily used to reduce hemorrhagic cystitis induced by cyclophosphamide. Because MESNA has potential antioxidant and cytoprotective effects, so
