Role of nitrite in the competition between denitrification and DNRA in a chemostat enrichment culture

Abstract Denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) are two microbial processes that compete for oxidized nitrogen compounds in the environment. The objective of this work was to determine the role of nitrite versus nitrate as terminal electron acceptor on the competition...
