Underground environments like soil and aquifers teem with microbial life. These tiny microbes play a big role in cycling ...

During combustion - one of the most popular industrial processes across all industry sectors - the chemical energy in fuels, such as natural gas, coal, or oil, is converted into heat by oxidization.

A research team reveals that the common antibiotic sulfamethoxazole (SMX) can fundamentally reshape nitrogen cycling in ...

The influence of hydrology and soil properties on disproportionately high ("hot") rates of nitrate (NO₃⁻) removal via denitrification has been relatively well established. It is poorly understood, ...

Denitrification was measured directly as the flux of $N_2$ from sediment cores collected at various times of year at three stations in the Narragansett Bay, R.I ...

Marine scientists have quantified potentially denitrifying bacteria in the oyster gut and shell, with important implications for efforts to reduce nutrient levels in coastal waters through oyster ...

THE effect of oxygen on the process of denitrification continues to be a subject of research, and it may, therefore, be of interest to record some observations made in the University of Melbourne with ...
