Activity ofnitrification inhibitors to several typical ammonia-oxidizing bacteria isolated recently,i. e. Nitrosococcus,Nitrosolobus,Nitrosomonas,NitrosospiraandNitrosovibriospe- cies was assayed using 2-amino-4-methyl-6-trichloromethyl-1,3,5-triazine (MAST), 2-amino- 4-tribromomethyl-6-trichloromethyl-1,3,5-triazine (Br-MAST), 2-chloro-6-trichloromethyl- pyridine (nitrapyrin) and others, and compared to confirm the adequate control of ammonia- oxidizing bacteria by the inhibitors. The order ofactivity ofthe inhibitors to 13 species ofammonia-oxidizing bacteria examined was approximately summarized as Br-MAST ⱖ nitrapyrinⱖMAST > other inhibitors. TwoNitrosomonasstrains,N. europaea ATCC25978 andN. sp. B2, were extremely susceptible to Br-MAST, exhibiting a pI50ⱖ6.40. These values are the position logarithms ofthe molar half-inhibition concentration. The 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity for the highly susceptible 4 strains of genusNitrosomonas was 94% to 100% ofNitrosomonas europaea, although those ofthe less susceptible 3 strains ofammonia- oxidizing bacteria, Nitrosococcus oceanus C-107 ATCC19707, Nitrosolobus sp. PJA1 and Nitrosolobus multiformisATCC25196, were 77.85, 91.53 and 90.29, respectively. However, no clear correlation has been found yet between pI50-values and percent similarity of16S rRNA gene sequence among ammonia-oxidizing bacteria.
