Microbial analysis to serve your crops
PRESENTATION
✤ Bacteria gram negative, with a aerobic metabolism, without endospore, motile or not
✤ Free living bacteria with a role in conversion of ammonia to nitrate (nitrification) :
-
Nitrosomonas spp
. are invoved in the nitritation (oxidation of ammonium into nitrite)
-
Nitrobacter spp
. are involved in the nitratation (oxydation of nitrite into nitrate)
ANALYSIS
✤ Determination of the viable propagules number of
Nitrosomonas spp.
or
Nitrobacter spp.
The results are expressed as CFU (Colony Forming Unit)
SAMPLES
✤ Sols
✤ Inoculums
✤ Biofertilisants, engrais, amendements
NITROSOMONAS spp. and NITROBACTER spp.
