Summary An inhibitor of Clostridium spp. formed by autoclaving sodium nitrite in a laboratory medium also inhibited at pH 6·0 nine of fourteen strains of Bacillus spp. B. circulans, B. polymyxa, B. macerans, B. pantothenticus and Bacillus F were resistant. Streptococcus durans was inhibited but Strep. faecium, Strep. faecalis and Strep. faecalis var. zymogenes were not. Salmonella typhimurium was not inhibited.
