Abstract excerpt
We herein report the diversity and relative abundance of chemolithotrophic nitrifying bacteria in a continuous-flow bioreactor using 16S-ribosomal RNA quantitative dot-blot hybridizations. About 14.9% of the total bacterial population, determined by epifluorescence microscopy in the bioreactor suspended phase, was represented by nitrifying bacteria. Of this fraction, ammonia- and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria...
