Abstract

IT was reported by Simpson1 that 2,4-dinitrophenol, at a concentration of 1 mM, strongly inhibits nitrite oxidation by Nitrobacter, although compounds such as ethyl nitrite and nitromethane appeared to have no inhibitory action. Other workers2 have, however, failed to obtain any inhibition with 2,4-dinitrophenol. We have therefore re-investigated the effect of this compound on nitrite oxidation.
