Eight strains of the genusNitrobactergrew under anaerobic conditions in the presence of nitrate. The growth was inhibited by nitrite concentrations above 0.5 mM. By a special culture technique inhibition caused by nitrite was abolished. Nitrite oxidizing cells grew in gas tight culture flasks as a biofilm on a gas-permeable silicone tubing. The biofilm allowed nitrate-reducing cells to grow at a low nitrite concentration. These cells grew either actively motile in the anaerobic medium, or in anaerobic zones of the biofilm. They produced nitrite and ammonia. Nitrogen balance calculations established a loss of inorganic nitrogen for 5 of 8 strains. This implies that nitrate-reducing cells produced furthermore volatile nitrogen compounds. N2O was detected by gas chromatography.
