Abstract

Nitrogen transformations by Aspergillus carneus (van Tiegh) Blochwitz, a predominant fungus isolated from benomyl-amended soil was studied. The organism oxidized NH+4 to NO-2; NO-3 was not detected. NO-2 was also produced from peptone in a sterilized soil inoculated with A. carneus. The fungus tolerated 103 parts/106 NaNO2. Complete disappearance of NO-2 occurred from media amended with 500 parts/106 NaNO2 in 24 days. The fungus also reduced NO-3 to NO-2.
