Potential of methane production and trophic microbial activities at rhizospheric soil during rice cv. Supanburi 1 cultivation were determined by laboratory anaerobic diluents vials. The methane production was higher from rhizospheric than non-rhizospheric soil, with the noticeable peaks during reproductive phase (RP) than vegetative phase (VP). Glucose, ethanol and acetate were the dominant available substrates found in rhizospheric soil during methane production at both phases. The predominance activities of trophic microbial consortium in methanogenesis, namely fermentative bacteria (FB), acetogenic bacteria (AGB), acetate utilizing bacteria (AB) and acetoclastic methanogens (AM) were also determined. At RP, these microbial groups were enhanced in the higher of methane production than VP. This correlates with our finding that methane production was greater at the rhizospheric soil with the noticeable peaks during RP (1,150 ± 60 nmol g dw-1 d-1) compared with VP (510 ± 30 nmol g dw-1 d-1). The high number of AM showed the abundant (1.1x104 cell g dw-1) with its high activity at RP, compared to the less activity with AM number at VP (9.8x102 cell g dw-1). Levels of AM are low in the total microbial population, being less than 1% of AB. These evidences revealed that the microbial consortium of these two phases were different.
