Abstract
The hypothesis is proposed that inorganic ammonia may be adsorbed on particulate matter in the sea. The random distribution of such particulate ammonia would account for the frequent ‘contamination’ reported in ammonia analyses and for the finding of nitrifying bacteria associated only with particulate matter, but never with sea water itself.
