Patureau, E. Zumstein, J.P. Delgenes, R. Moletta Laboratoire de Biotechnologie de l’Environnement, Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique, Avenue des Etangs, 11100 Narbonne, France Received: 6 September 1999; Accepted: 29 November 1999; Online Publication: 29 March 2000 A BSTRACT Twenty-eight bacterial strains were isolated from an ecosystem adapted to fluctuating oxic–anoxic conditions. This ecosystem comprised a mixture of different natural and wastewater treatment environments. Among the 28 strains isolated, 10 exhibited aerobic denitrifying activity, i.e., co- respiration of oxygen and nitrate and simultaneous production of nitrite by 4 of them and of nitrogen gas by the remaining 6. Comparisons between the 16S rDNA sequences of the 10 strains showed that 3 of them were identical to M. aerodenitrificans, whereas RAPD profiles showed that the 3 strains were identical to each other but that they were different from M. aerodenitrificans. This implies that alternating aerobic–anoxic conditions allowed the isolation of a new strain of this aerobic denitrifier. Moreover, other denitrifying bacteria belonging to the genera Paracoccus, Thio- bacillus, Enterobacter, Comamonas, and Sphingomonas were isolated in this
