| autecological study of the chemoautotroph nitrobacter by immunofluorescence. | fluorescent antibodies (fa) prepared for nitrobacter agilis and n. winogradskyi were highly reactive in homologous staining. low-level cross-reactions between the two species were removed by adsorption. all 15 pure-culture isolates of nitrobacter tested reacted strongly with either n. agilis fa or n. winogradskyi fa. all pure-culture isolates from soils were determined to be n. winogradskyi; those from mammoth cave sediments and a cattle waste oxidation ditch were n. agilis. no cross-reaction wa ... | 1974 | 4589121 |
