The environmental controls that govern the end product of bacterial nitrate respiration

B Kraft, HE Tegetmeyer, R Sharma, MG Klotz… - Science, 2014 - science.org
In the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle, microbial respiration processes compete for nitrate as
an electron acceptor. Denitrification converts nitrate into nitrogenous gas and thus removes …

Microbial nitrate respiration–genes, enzymes and environmental distribution

B Kraft, M Strous, HE Tegetmeyer - Journal of biotechnology, 2011 - Elsevier
