title: [Isolation of bacteria that use that use nitric oxide as a respiratory electron acceptor under anaerobiosis].
abstract: Ten bacteria of the genus Bacillus were isolated from pasteurized soils, in anaerobiosis and at 32 degrees C, on peptone broth containing 0.5% KNO2. They are Gram variable rods producing oval spores. They are oxidase positive and have catalase. They grow, in anaerobiosis, on NO-3, NO-2, N2O, and NO as respiratory electron acceptors. These compounds are reduced to N2.
