A novel mechanism for dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium in Acididesulfobacillus acetoxydans

A novel mechanism for dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium in Acididesulfobacillus acetoxydans

ABSTRACTThe biological route of nitrate reduction has important implications for the bioavailability of nitrogen within ecosystems. Nitrate reduction via nitrite, either to ammonium (ammonification) or to nitrous oxide or dinitrogen (denitrification), determines whether nitrogen is retained within t...
