A molybdenum-reducing bacterium isolated from contaminated soil was able to utilize acrylamide as the electron donor source, and was able utilize acrylamide, acetamide and propionamide for growth. Reduction was optimal at pH between 6.0 to 6.3, at temperatures of between 30 and 37 oC, glucose as the...
