Some Observations on “Nitrification” [PDF]
The Journal of Agricultural Science, 1907 It is now a well-established fact that the ammonia, which is formed in the cultivated soil by the breaking down of nitrogenous organic matter through the action of bacteria and moulds, is itself converted by oxidation into nitrates. The latter process, “nitrification“ proper, is effected in two stages by two distinct species of bacteria, the one ...

Simultaneous nitrification and de-nitrification in MBR [PDF]
Water Science and Technology, 2005 Experiments have been carried out to get an understanding of the effect of DO, C/N ratio and pH on the performance of a bench scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) in simultaneous nitrification and de-nitrification. It was found that under the conditions of MLSS in the range of 8000–9000mg/L and temperature of water in the MBR of 24°C, influent COD and NH3-N

Biochemistry of nitrification in soil: 2. The site of soil nitrification. [PDF]
The Biochemical journal, 2006 Chick, in her interesting paper (1906) on the study of nitrification with reference to sewage purification, states that it had been long upheld that a most important preliminary to nitrification both in soil and in sewage filters was an absorption of NH+4 or ammonium salts on surfaces of soil particles, or filtering medium.

Microbial diversity supports nitrification: insights from a full-scale anoxic/oxic wastewater treatment process [PDF]
Applied and Environmental MicrobiologyNitrification is a crucial process for removing nitrogen in wastewater treatment systems. While previous research has primarily focused on nitrifying microorganisms, the impact of the broader diversity of non-nitrifying microbes on nitrification remains ...

In silico evaluation of plant nitrification suppression effects on agroecosystem nitrogen loss
Ecosphere, 2022 Nitrification regulates the potential for nitrogen (N) loss from ecosystems because it converts ammonium to nitrate, which is susceptible to leaching and gaseous emissions.

Effects of elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration on nitrification of farmland soil
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2022 It has been widely reported that elevated carbon dioxide concentration (eCO2) affects soil nitrogen cycling dramatically, in which nitrification plays an important role in net primary productivity and greenhouse gas emission.

Rhizosphere soil nitrification ability controls nitrogen‐use efficiency in rice growth period
Food and Energy Security, 2023 Nitrification in the rhizosphere is a crucial process in controlling nitrogen‐use efficiency (NUE) in flooded paddy soils. To understand the relationship between the nitrification ability of the rhizosphere and NUE, pot experiments using 15N tracer ...

Application of litters to inhibit nitrification in Vertisols on sweet corn (Zea mays S.)
Sains Tanah: Journal of Soil Science and Agroclimatology, 2021 Nitrification, or the process of oxidation of ammonium to nitrate in the soil, needs to be inhibited because it reduces the efficiency of nitrogen fertilizers.
