Growth of AOB under varying ammonia concentrations. Effect of substrate concentration on nitrite production by Nitrosomonas sp. TNE100 (a) and Nitrosospira spp. TNL100 (c), TNL200 (e), and TNL300 (g). Their respective specific growth rates were derived from log-linear plots of nitrite production during the exponential growth phase (b, d, f, and h). All data represent the means of triplicate experiments. Error bars indicate SD and, in some cases, are contained within the symbols.
