denitrifying bacteria
1Denitrifying bacteria — form a necessary part of the process known as denitrification as part of the nitrogen cycle, their primary purpose being to metabolise nitrogenous compounds, with the assistance of the nitrase reductase enzyme, to turn oxides back to nitrogen gas …
2denitrifying bacteria — n pl various bacteria (as Thiobacillus denitrificans and Paracoccus denitrificans) that bring about denitrification used esp. of forms that reduce nitrates to nitrites or nitrites to nitrogen gas (as many common putrefactive organisms of manure… …

7Nitrifying bacteria — are chemoautotrophic or chemolithotrophs depending on the genera (Nitrosomonas, Nitrosococcus, Nitrobacter, Nitrococcus) bacteria that grow by consuming inorganic nitrogen compounds.[1] Many species of nitrifying bacteria have complex internal… …
8nitrifying bacteria — Small group of oxygen requiring bacteria that use nitrogen as an energy source. These microorganisms are important in the nitrogen cycle as converters of soil ammonia to nitrates, compounds usable by plants. The nitrification process requires two …
9Denitrification — Nitrogen cycle. Denitrification is a microbially facilitated process of nitrate reduction that may ultimately produce molecular nitrogen (N2) through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products. This respiratory process reduces… …
