Denitrification is the process where denitrifying bacteria, under anaerobic conditions, convert nitrates in soil into nitrogen gas for respiration.
Denitrificarea este procesul prin care bacteriile denitrificatoare, în condiții anaerobe, convertesc nitrații din sol în azot gazos pentru a-și asigura respirația.
