[Reduction of nitrates by cultures of Azotobacter indicum and Azotobacter chroococcum ].
The capacity for denitrification was studied in Azotobacter bacteria, which are free-living nitrogen-fixing obligatory aerobes. Data on the nitrate reduction to nitrites and nitric oxide by A. indicum under anaerobic conditions were obtained for the first time for genus Azotobacter.
