Nitratiivisista
Nitratiivisista refers to the process of converting nitrate (NO₃⁻) into nitrogen gas (N₂) through microbial activity in anaerobic environments, primarily in soils and sediments. This process is a key step in the nitrogen cycle, where nitrogen compounds are transformed between various chemical forms. Nitratiivisista is often associated with denitrification, a broader term that encompasses the reduction of nitrates to gaseous nitrogen compounds, including nitrous oxide (N₂O) and nitric oxide (NO).
The primary agents of nitratiivisista are denitrifying bacteria, such as those from the genera *Pseudomonas*, *Paracoccus*,
Nitratiivisista plays a critical role in the global nitrogen budget, as it removes fixed nitrogen from ecosystems,
In agricultural and aquatic systems, nitratiivisista is often managed to balance nitrogen removal with the mitigation
