Abstract
The competition for limiting amounts of ammonium between the chemolithotrophic ammonium-oxidizing species
Nitrosomonas europaea, the heterotrophic species Arthrobacter globiformis and roots of Plantago lanceolata
(Ribwort plantain) was studied in a series of model systems of increasing complexity, i.e. energy-limited continuous
cultures, non-water-saturated continuously percolated soil columns and pots with y-sterilized soil planted with
axenic
