Growth of Nitrobacter in the presence of organic matter. I. Mixotrophic growth.

Abstract:

:1. Culture filtrates of heterotrophic bacteria were tested for their stimulatory effect on nitrification of three strains of Nitrobacter. 2. Yeast extract-peptone solution, in which Pseudomonas fluorescens had grown, after removal of the cells was added to autotrophically growing cultures of Nitrobacter agilis; it caused a stimulated nitrite oxidation and growth of Nitrobacter agilis. 3. The degree of stimulation depended on: a) the proportion of the culture filtrate to the autotrophic medium; b) the composition of the complex medium in which Pseudomonas fluorescens had been grown; c) the time the heterotrophic bacterium had been grown in the complex medium. 4. The stimulatory effect was highest with Nitrobacter agilis, less with Nitrobacter winogradskyi and negligible with Nitrobacter K4. 5. It was possible to adapt nutrifying cells of Nitrobacter agilis to higher concentrations of yeast extract and peptone. After the nitrite had been completely oxidized the cell-N still increased up to 30% before growth stopped.

  • Characterization of cost with respect to nutritional upshift in the media composition along with sublethal doses of transcriptional and translational inhibitor.

    abstract::Expression of unnecessary proteins is known to reduce the growth rate of Escherichia coli. This reduction in growth rate, due to the diversion of cellular resources from making essential proteins, is called cost. Cellular resources depend upon the macromolecular content of the cell. Cost phenomenon lies in the process...
