The influence of macrofaunal burrow spacing and diffusive scaling on sedimentary nitrification and denitrification: An experimental simulation and model approach [PDF]
The influence of burrow spacing on nitrification and denitrification was simulated experimentally using sediment plugs of different thicknesses immersed in aerated seawater reservoirs.

Reducing Ammonia Losses By Adding FeCI3 During Composting Of Sewage Sludge [PDF]
The release of ammonia nitrogen during composting of sewage sludge mixed with a lignocellulosic bulking agent leads to a reduction in the agronomic value of the final compost and to harmful effects on the environment. We propose adding a cheap salt FeCl3

Enzymology and bioenergetics of respiratory nitrite ammonification [PDF]
Nitrite is widely used by bacteria as an electron acceptor under anaerobic conditions. In respiratory nitrite ammonification an electrochemical proton potential across the membrane is generated by electron transport from a non-fermentable substrate like formate or H(2) to nitrite.

Nitrous oxide production in soil isolates of nitrate-ammonifying bacteria [PDF]
Here we provide the first demonstration of the potential for N2O production by soil-isolated nitrate-ammonifying bacteria under different C and N availabilities, building on characterizations informed from model strains.
