title: Effect of dicumarol on the growth of some soil microorganisms.
abstract: The effect of dicumarol on growth of selected soil bacteria: Azotobacter chroococcum, Arthrobacter globiformis, A. citreus and Bacillus megaterium was studied. The following minimum concentrations were inhibitory in vitro: Arthrobacter citreus--20 mug/ml., Bacillus megaterium--40 mug/ml., Azotobacter chroococcum--40 mug/ml. Arthrobacter globiformis--70 mug/ml. Cells of all microorganisms studied grown in the presence of dicumarol developed aberrant morphological forms.
