- Microbial transformations of nitrogen are often depicted as a cycle consisting of six distinct processes that proceed in an orderly fashion. This view of the nitrogen cycle implies that a molecule of dinitrogen gas is first fixed to ammonia, which is assimilated into organic nitrogen (that is, biomass).

Denitrification produces elemental nitrogen and, in small quantities, also N2O. In the global context, this process is the main pathway by which gaseous N2is produced biologically. The following reduction steps are involved in denitrification: Nitrate and NO reductase are localized in the cytoplasmic membrane, whereas nitrite and N2O reductase are ...
Also starting from the NO3 pool, dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) reduces nitrate directly to NH4+. The first step in this reaction, the reduction of nitrate to nitrite, is the energy-producing step. It is identical to that of denitrification: The further reduction of nitrite to ammonium is catalyzed by an NADH-dependent reductase...

Oct 24, 2014 · Nitrogen (N) is an essential element in biological systems and one that often limits production in both aquatic and terrestrial systems. Due to its requirement in biological macromolecules, its acquisition and cycling have the potential to structure microbial communities, as well as to control productivity on the ecosystem scale.
