Denitrification. Nitrogen is returned to its atmospheric form by the action of denitrifying bacteria such as Pseudomonas thiobacillus and Micrococcus denitrificans. The process is known as denitrification and the reaction is as follows ... 

Primary denitrifying genera in soils are Pseudomonas and Alkaligens. Simultaneous with denitrification is organic matter oxidation. The utilization of glucose through nitrate reduction by Pseudomonas denitrificans can be written as... 

Chemoautotrophic denitrification coupled to H2S, S°, or 8203 occurs in some bacteria of the genus Thiobacillus such as T. denitrificans (Hoor, 1981 Section 8.08.7.9). Nitrate reduction by such a pathway increased with FeS additions and followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics in a marine sediment (Garcia-Gil and Golterman, 1993).

Studied the action of the denitrifying bacteria and found that B. denitrificans V. reduced beryllium nitrate and, in general, the more electro-positive the metal and the lower its atomic weight the more rapidly does denitrification take place.
