Determination of methanogen/acetogen conc's

[James N. Petersen]

We are interesting in being able to accurately determine the
number of acetogens and methanogens in a given sample which
has been grown under methanogenic conditions.  Is anyone aware of
any protocols for accomplishing this?  If so, could you give
me references to the same?  We need to perform several samples 
on a daily basis.

Thanks for any leads.
