RESUMO
A problem currently encountered by government agencies concerned with environmental health and safety is the determination of the methane content of soil in and around sanitary landfills. The feasibility of using methanol-oxidizing bacteria (methylotrophs) as an index of the methane content of soils from sanitary landfills was tested in this study. A statistically significant correlation was shown to exist between the methane content of soil and the number of methanol-oxidizing bacteria in soil.
