Abstract
THE demonstration of Schloesing and Muntz in 1877 that in sewage beds ammonia is converted into nitrate by biological agencies, and the further demonstration by Warington that two species of bacteria are involved, followed by their isolation by Winogradsky, turned the thoughts of soil investigators towards the biological aspect of soil fertility.
