Gas-producing microorganisms are found over a wide-range of natural environments, where they can release gases such as O_2, CO_2, and H_2 in a special condition. The population of the gas-producing microorganisms could be a novel ecological index of the type of metabolic cascade formed by those living in collaboration with limited nutrients or in a special physicochemical condition. In this research, every microorganism was introduced into a glass microsphere individually and allowed to float up by its buoyant of produced gas components. The population and distribution of the gas-producing microorganisms were determined from the number of the floated microspheres, over a range of elevation in Yakushima island.
