Seventeen strains of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, isolated from different habitats on hydrogen and carbon dioxide as well as on other substrates, morphologically resembled each other. All strains, including Mycobacterium flavum 301, grew autotrophically with hydrogen. The isolate strain 6 was sensitive to oxygen when dependent on N2 as nitrogen source, a consequence of the sensitivity of its nitrogenase towards oxygen. At the same time, strain 6 was sensitive to hydrogen when growing autotrophically on N2 as nitrogen source, but hydrogen did not affect acetylene reduction by these cells.
从不同生境中分离得到的17株固氮菌，以氢气和二氧化碳以及其他底物为原料，形态上彼此相似。所有菌株，包括黄色分枝杆菌301，都能利用氢气进行自养生长。分离菌株6在以N2作为氮源时对氧气敏感，这是其固氮酶对氧气敏感的结果。同时，菌株6在以N2作为氮源进行自养生长时对氢气敏感，但氢气并不影响这些细胞的乙炔还原反应。
