Abstract
Acetylene reduction was shown to occur under a nitrogen atmosphere in slurries of anaerobic saltmarsh sediment. This acetylene reduction was entirely inhibited by 20 m m molybdate, but was stimulated by the presence of a hydrogen atmosphere. Anaerobic heterotrophic nitrogen fixation was, therefore, attributed to the activity of sulphate reducing bacteria which were the predominant nitrogen fixers in this environment.
