[On N2-fixing clostridia and bacilli from soils (author's transl)]. 1976

R Hammann, and J C Ottow

In total 30 nitrogen-fixing, saccharolytic Clostridia and 4 nitrogen-fixing bacilli, all freshly isolated from gleyed soils, were screened for sensitivity to 20 antibiotics. The isolates were compared in their sensitivity with 5 type cultures representing the species Clostridium butyricum, C. saccharobutyricum (2 strains) C. multifermentans and C. sporogenes. Generally speaking, both clostridia and bacilli are sensitive to the same antibiotics (Table 2). In addition, the nitrogen-fixing bacilli belonging to Bacillus polymyxa and B. macerans showed sensitivity to neomycin and kanamycin. Except for the species C. tyrobutyricum, none of the various saccharolytic Clostridium species could be distinguished by differences in sensitivity to antibiotics. Differential methods are given in Table 3.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009586	Nitrogen Fixation	The process in certain BACTERIA; FUNGI; and CYANOBACTERIA converting free atmospheric NITROGEN to biologically usable forms of nitrogen, such as AMMONIA; NITRATES; and amino compounds.

D003013	Clostridium	A genus of motile or nonmotile gram-positive bacteria of the family Clostridiaceae. Many species have been identified with some being pathogenic. They occur in water, soil, and in the intestinal tract of humans and lower animals.
D004352	Drug Resistance, Microbial	The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

D005947	Glucose	A primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement.

D001407	Bacillus	A genus of BACILLACEAE that are spore-forming, rod-shaped cells. Most species are saprophytic soil forms with only a few species being pathogenic.	Bacillus bacterium
D012988	Soil Microbiology	The presence of bacteria, viruses, and fungi in the soil. This term is not restricted to pathogenic organisms.	Microbiology, Soil
D013045	Species Specificity	The restriction of a characteristic behavior, anatomical structure or physical system, such as immune response; metabolic response, or gene or gene variant to the members of one species. It refers to that property which differentiates one species from another but it is also used for phylogenetic levels higher or lower than the species.
