Figure 2From: Draft genome sequence of Bacillus azotoformans MEV2011, a (Co-) denitrifying strain unable to grow with oxygen Consumption of oxygen (□; measured online with an oxygen microsensor) and nitrate (●; measured by HPLC) during growth (▲; OD 600 ) of B. azotoformans MEV2011. No growth was observed at oxygen concentrations >30-35 μM, and the initiation of growth coincided with the first detection of 30 N2 from 15NO3 − (data not shown), indicating that growth was coupled to denitrification.Back to article page
