ABSTRACT
The effect of soluble fluorine species in different concentrations on the catabolic activity of Desulfotomaculum ruminis bacteria has been studied. The fluoride concentrations tolerated by and toxic to the bacteria have been determined. The degree of fluorine species toxicity was found to depend on the form in which fluorine is introduced into the medium and increases in the following order: NaF { NH4 { ZnF2 { { Na2SiF6 { ZnSiF6 { CdF2. The results indicate that the difference between the concentrations tolerated by and toxic to the bacteria was very small.
