Abstract
The growth and nitrogenous excretion of a common soil flagellate, Cerc omonas sp. isolated from a Scottish podzol and fed a common soil bacte rium, Pseudomonas fluorescens, were investigated in liquid culture. Th e kinetic data obtained from these studies were compared with a reanal ysis of year-long population estimates published by Cutler et al. (192 2) of Cercomonas spp from soil in the Barnfield long-term experiment a t Rothamsted Experimental Station, England.
