Response of Gibbs energy of acetate conversion to butyrate (ΔGAc to But) to the inhibition of CH4 production expressed as a percentage of CH4 production decrease relative to control treatments. Treatment means are adjusted by the effect of their experiment. Batch culture: y = −4.80 (±1.50; p = 0.002) + exp (p < 0.001) − 0.16 (±0.020; p < 0.001) x − 0.00079 (±0.00044; p = 0.074) (x − 46.6)2 + exp × x (p < 0.001); R2 = 0.92 (p < 0.001); Continuous culture: y = 2.21 (±1.50; p = 0.15) − 0.17 (±0.022; p < 0.001) x − 0.0019 (±0.00072; p = 0.016) (x − 46.7)2 + exp × x (p = 0.030); R2 = 0.87 (p < 0.001).
