Denitrification mechanism in oxygen-rich aquatic environments through long-distance electron transfer

Abstract The lack of electron donors in oxygen-rich aquatic environments limits the ability of natural denitrification to remove excess nitrate, leading to eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems. Herein, we demonstrate that electron-rich substances in river or lake sediments could participate in long-...
