THE TEMPERATURE CHARACTERISTIC OF RESPIRATION OF AZOTOBACTER.
The temperature characteristic of respiration of Azotobacter vinelandii possesses a constant value of 19,330 +/- 165 over the temperature range 20-30 degrees C. This value is independent of pH, oxygen tension, age of culture, and other factors within the limits studied. The optimum temperature of respiration is 34-35 degrees C., with limits at about 10 degrees and 50 degrees C.
