Serotypic diversity amongNitrobacter spp. isolates is greater than previously reported. Typing with fluorescent antibodies prepared against 11Nitrobacter spp. cultures isolated from soil and water placed the isolates into six serogroups. When these fluorescent antibodies were applied to a group of 16 additional isolates, 8 were identifiable by cross-reaction to 3 of the 11 fluorescent antibodies. Some nitrite-oxidizing enrichment cultures from different habitats contained cross-reacting strains ofNitrobacter spp.
