Critical analysis of decay rate measurement methodology [PDF]
In modeling studies, estimation of microorganisms kinetic parameters set is a key element for proper model operation and predictability. Nitrification process is very often, a crucial element of the wastewater treatment systems as bacteria responsible ...

Apparent and Measured Rates of Nitrification in the Hypolimnion of a Mesotrophic Lake [PDF]
Three distinct phases were observed in the change of dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentrations in the hypolimnion of Grasmere. The second phase of decreasing ammonia and increasing nitrate concentrations was typical of the nitrification process.

Heterotrophic nitrification of organic nitrogen is stimulated by agricultural plants
The association between soil heterotrophic nitrification and plant nitrogen (N) uptake remains poorly understood. Here, we used 15N isotope tracing and numerical analysis to quantify the rate of ammonification (organic N to ammonium), heterotrophic ...

Rates and controls of nitrification in a large oligotrophic lake [PDF]
Recent discoveries have altered prevailing paradigms concerning the conditions under which nitrification takes place and the organisms responsible for nitrification in aquatic ecosystems. In Lake Superior, nitrate () concentrations have increased fivefold in the past century. Although previous evidence indicated that most is generated by nitrification

Performance of three kinds of nitrification sludge
:Batch experiments were carried out to study the performances of three kinds of nitrification sludge of seeding sludge (S1) and nitrification sludge (S2 and S3) taken from a bioreactor run with inorganic or organic ammonia containing wastewater for a ...

Temporal variation in maximum cell-specific nitrification rate
The cell numbers of ammonia-oxidising bacteria (AOBs), Nitrospira and Nitrobacter in activated sludge used to treat wastewater from a thermal power plant in Japan were examined for nine months using a real-time PCR quantification technique. AOB cell numbers ranged 2.8 × 1010–2.3 × 1011 cell/L.

Dicyandiamide as nitrification inhibitor of pig slurry ammonium nitrogen in soil
: Inhibition of nitrification of ammoniacal nitrogen pig slurry after its application to the soil can mitigate nitrogen (N) losses by nitrate (NO3 -) denitrification and leaching, with economical and environmental benefits.

The effect of high solute concentrations on nitrification rates in soil
A short term nitrification assay ( ammonium sulphate>sorbitol up to the maximum osmotic pressure studied (25 atm). With ammonium chloride, a pressure of 3.5 atm. was sufficient to cause a 90% inhibition of nitrification rate. The inhibition produced by mixtures of ammonium chloride and sorbitol, each mixture generating an osmotic pressure of 5 atm.
