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 />
