Abstract:
Activities of nitrite and nitrate reductases as well as the efficiencies of denitrification carried out by Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas stutzeri under different culture conditions have been compared. The inoculum growth conditions had no influence on denitrification pathway in either strain. Activities of both reductases were higher in Pseudomonas stutzeri than in Pseudomonas aeruginosa cultures.
