Microvirgula aerodenitrificans gen. nov., sp. nov., a new gram-negative bacterium exhibiting co-respiration of oxygen and nitrogen oxides up to oxygen-saturated conditions.

Abstract excerpt

A denitrifier micro-organism was isolated from an upflow denitrifying filter inoculated with an activated sludge. The cells were Gram-negative, catalase- and oxidase-positive curved rods and very motile. They were aerobic as well as anoxic heterotrophs that had an atypical respiratory type of metabolism in which oxygen and nitrogen oxides were used simultaneously as terminal electron acceptors.
