Reference for this article B. Nisman THE STICKLAND REACTION Bacteriol Rev. 1954 18: 16–42.

This reaction is name source for Clostridium sticklanii, which should be cross referenced to Clostridium article. As that article mentions, organism is a biotech "gold mine" because it is very versatile in doing just this kind of stuff. 155.247.231.139 (talk) 20:48, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

Utility
