Popis: The effect of nitrate on perchlorate and chlorate reduction by perchlorate-respiring bacteria (PRB), and on chlorate reduction by chlorate-respiring bacteria (CRB), is not well understood, particularly with respect to the induction of pathways used to degrade these different chemicals. Based on kinetic data obtained in a series of batch tests, we determined that perchlorate respiratory enzymes were inducible (by chlorate or perchlorate) and separate from those used for denitrification by PRB strain Dechlorosoma sp. KJ. Aerobically grown cultures of KJ had lag times of greater than 0.3-2 days when transferred to a medium containing only perchlorate, chlorate, or nitrate as an electron acceptor. There were no lag times for transfers between identical media. Washed cells reduced very little nitrate (
