Specific Inhibition of Nitrite Oxidation by Chlorate and Its Use in Assessing Nitrification in Soils and Sediments

Open access
Belser, L. W., Mays, E. L.·1980·Applied and Environmental Microbiology

Abstract

A method was developed to determine the ammonium oxidation rate (potential) of unenriched natural samples by measuring the nitrite produced in shaken slurries. Addition of chlorate to the samples prevented nitrite from being oxidized to nitrate. The effectiveness and specificity of chlorate were tested with pure cultures of nitrite and ammonium oxidizers, as well as in soil and sediment slurries. It was concluded that chlorate had relatively little inhibitory effect on ammonium oxidation. However, under some conditions chlorate was not completely effective in blocking nitrite oxidation, and the causes of this were investigated. The technique was designed to check for incomplete blockage.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
