Nitrogen-scavenging bacteria in the water usually occurred at the level of 10-10⁴ cfu/ml. This value was almost comparable to that of aerobic heterotrophic bacteria. It seems that nitrogen-scavenging bacteria play an important role in the efficient uptake of low levels of nitrogenous compounds in marine environment.}, pages = {49--54}, title = {Occurrence and distribution of nitrogen-scavenging bacteria in marine environment}, volume = {14}, year = {1987} }
