Abstract
4 spp. of non-spore-forming bacteria (not identified) capable of oxidizing NH3 into nitrite were isolated from Rothamsted soil, all differing widely from Nitrosomonas or Nitrosococcus. They carried out this reaction in artificial media as well as in soil, and some assimilated nitrite. Rapid growth occurred on nutrient agar, and 0.1% sucrose stimulated nitrite production.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
