Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

Remark : Chemicals used in industry or housholds and industrial wastewaters were<br />

tested for their effects on microbial nitrification. The investigations were<br />

carried out as batch-experiments in a manostatic respirometer. Chemical<br />

substances were tested in series of definite concentrations and waste<br />

waters in series of definite dilutions. The inoculum was a highly nitrifying<br />

culture, isolated form a nitrifying activated sludge. Each test series<br />

included a corresponding number of blanks to which changes in the<br />

amount or rate of the oxygen uptake could be related.<br />

The results of the investigations show that many of these chemicals used<br />

in industry as production aids have inhibiting effects on nitrification, in<br />

concentrations ranging from 30 ug/L to 230 mg/L. Considerable<br />

differences in the slope of the transition between the no-effect level and the<br />

level of full toxicity of the different substances were observed.<br />

<strong>Cyanoguanidine</strong> showed IC50 of respirometry activity at 8.2 mg/L.<br />

Remark : The nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (DCD) did not inhibit growth and<br />

respiration of N-fixing bacteria (Rhizobium leguminosarum and Azotobacter<br />

chroococcum) in cell suspensions with concentrations of 400 ppm DCD.<br />

Growth of Rhizobium leguminosarum was inhibited by 17 % with 100 ppm<br />

nitrapyrin (N-Serve), but respiration was not affected. Growth of<br />

Azotobacter chroococcum was inhibited by 10 ppm (10%) and 100 ppm<br />

nitrapyrin (50%); in the latter case, respiration was also impaired (36%).<br />

Thiourea only caused a minor growth inhibition of Azotobacter croococcum<br />

with 100 ppm (8%) and had no effect on Rhizobium leguminosarum.<br />

Remark : Inhibition of ammonia oxidation by Nitrosomonas europaea with nitrification<br />

inhibitors<br />

Inhibitory effects of dicyandiamide (DCD) on ammonia oxidation were<br />

detected in experiments with static cultures as well as cell suspensions.<br />

DCD required 200 ppm for 70 % inhibition. DCD effect was shown to be<br />

bacteriostatic.<br />
