Abstract Attempts to isolate, from soil, strains ofBdellovibrio bacteriovorus parasitic on variousAzotobacter andRhizobium species were not successful. However, a strain ofBdellovibrio bacteriovorus isolated from soil as a parasite ofEscherichia coli was shown to produce plaques onAzotobacter chroococcum as well but not onAzotobacter vinelandii or variousRhizobium species. The nutritive conditions required for thisBdellovibrio strain to yield discrete countable plaques onAzotobacter chroococcum plates were examined, and it was proposed thatAzotobacter slime be used as a preservative agent for the maintenance ofBdellovibrio bacteriovorus strains in frozen culture.
