Notes:
Abstract Four strains of Desulfovibrio produced ammonium during growth on a defined medium containing 100 μg NO 3 - -N/ml in the presence of 1 mM sulfate. Ammonium was not produced by cultures grown in media devoid of sulfate nor in media containing 35 mM sulfate. The four strains of Desulfovibrio studied reduced 32.7–46% of the available nitrate to ammonium in 21 days incubation. Ammonium production from nitrate was confirmed by recovering 15N-enriched ammonium when 15N-enriched Ca(NO3)2 was utilized as the substrate for the reduction.
