From various oxic or anoxic habitats several strains of bacteria were isolated which in the absence of molecular oxygen oxidized phenol to CO2 with nitrate as the terminal electron acceptor. All strains grew in defined mineral salts medium; two of them were further characterized. The bacteria were f
Three strains of denitrifying bacteria were anaerobically enriched and isolated from oxic or anoxic habitats with cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone as sole electron donor and carbon source and with nitrate as electron acceptor. The bacteria were facultatively anaerobic, Gramnegative and metabolism was s
Several denitrifying Pseudomonas spp., isolated with various aromatic compounds, were tested for the ability to degrade toluene in the absence of molecular oxygen. Four out of seven strains were able to degrade toluene in the presence of N2O. More than 50% of the 14C from ring-labelled toluene was r
