Serological Diversity of Nitrobacter spp. from Soil and Aquatic Habitats †

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Serotypic diversity among Nitrobacter spp. isolates is greater than previously reported. Typing with fluorescent antibodies prepared against 11 Nitrobacter spp. cultures isolated from soil and water placed the isolates into six serogroups. When these fluorescent antibodies were applied to a group of 16 additional isolates, 8 were identifiable by cross-reaction to 3 of the 11 fluorescent antibodies. Some nitrite-oxidizing enrichment cultures from different habitats contained cross-reacting strains of Nitrobacter spp.
