Abstract
Washed suspensions of P. aeruginosa assimilate N from ammonium chloride. Assimilation requires the simultaneous oxidation of a suitable substrate and is associated with an increased rate of oxidation and reduction of the total amt. of O2 consumed. Max. assimilation also requires a source of S. A number of organic and inorganic S-containing compounds fulfill this requirement.
