Abstract

Using the limiting dilution assay, the number of ammonium-oxidizing bacteria in the bottom sediments of the area of the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill (BPPM, Southern Baikal) was determined. The maximum number of bacteria under study was determined at the station where treated wastewater from the city of Baikalsk is discharged into the lake.
