The described bacterium was isolated by enrichment culture in peptone broth inoculated with garden soil, pasteurized and then put to incubate under N2O at 32 degrees. It is a Gram-negative rod, motile with peritrichous flagella, and producing oval spores without exosporium in swollen sporangia. However, cells have the thick walls, mesosomes and persistant septa characteristic of Gram-positive bacteria. It lacks fermentative activity, does not attack carbohydrates, has complex growth requirements, and will grow anaerobically only if one of the following electron acceptors is present: NO3, NO2, N2O, S4O6, and fumarate. Nitrate, nitrite, and nitrous oxide are denitrified with production of N2. The microorganism is mesophilic, gives a positive oxidase reaction, synthesizes a type of c cytochrome, and does not hydrolyse gelatin, starch nor "Tween 80". The following enzymes are present: nitrate reductase A, respiratory nitrite reductase, tetrathionate and fumarate reductases, L-glutamate dehydrogenase, and superoxide dismutase. The following enzymes are absent: thiosulfate reductase, urease, lecithinase, arginine dihydrolase, L-alanine dehydrogenase, phenylalanine desaminase, and catalase. The GC% of its DNA is 39. The bacterium described can be considered to be a new species. We propose the name Bacillus azotoformans n. sp.
