Abstract
Soil enrichment cultures in a medium containing 0.1% pyridine as the sole organic compound gave plate counts of more than 1000 million organisms per ml. Organisms of the genus Proactinomyces were able to utilize pyridine, aniline, nicotinic acid, nitrobenzene, or phenol + ammonium ion as sole source of C, N and energy.Keywords
