Aerobic denitrification
text:
Aerobic denitrification, or co-respiration, the simultaneous use of both oxygen (O2) and nitrate (NO−3) as oxidizing agents, performed by various genera of microorganisms. This process differs from anaerobic denitrification not only in its insensitivity to the presence of oxygen, but also in its higher potential to form nitrous oxide (N2O) as a byproduct. Nitrate, acting as an oxidant, is therefore reduced in a succession of four reactions performed by the enzymes nitrate, nitrite, nitric-oxide,
