โœฆ Synopsis

The genetics of denitrification is a relatively unexplored area that has great promise. Species of Pseudomonas are probably best suited for study because they are widely found among natural denitrifying populations and are quite readily amenable to genetic analysis. The techniques for mutagenesis and for the exchange of chromosomal genes to characterize mutant strains have been well-developed in P. aeruginosa and are being developed in P. stutzeri. Mutants defective in the denitrification of nitrate, nitrite, and nitrous oxide are now available and will aid in describing the catalytic and regulatory elements of the denitrification pathway.

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
