Some strains of Actinomycetes showed variation in its activity to reduce nitrate to nitrite when the nutrient solution was modified in relation to the major elements. One of these strains incapable of !this reaction showed a strong activity in nutrient solution without K and little activity without P. Otherwise strains capable of reducing nitrate to nitrite had this capacity decreased in absence of each one of the following elements: K, P, Mg, e S. K showed to be the most important of them, followed by P, Mg e S. Without any of these elements the pH of the nutrient solution has to be increased from 5,5 to 6,5 for the strains capable to reduce nitrate to nitrite preserve its capacity. The time for the reaction is increased from 5 to 8 days and the amount of nitrite obtained is small.
