Abstract: | Two heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria,Paracoccus denitrificans andPseudomonas denitrificans, have been shown to utilize nitric oxide (NO) as a terminal electron acceptor and succinate, yeast extract, and heat/alkali
pretreated municipal sewage sludge as carbon and energy sources. Complete removal of NO (0.50%) from a feed gas sparged into
the cultures was observed. It is suggested that reduction of NO may be a common feature of denitrifying bacteria and that
a microbial process to dispose of NOx may be economically viable. |
