Abstract:Haloferax mediterranei is a denitrifying halophilic archaeon able to grow with nitrite as the sole nitrogen source for growth in an assimilatory process under aerobic conditions. This haloarchaeon can also reduce nitrite in a respiratory process, where nitrite is the electron acceptor when oxygen conditions are limited. Due to this capability, Haloferax mediterranei could be applied in salted water bioremediation processes with the purpose of repairing the damage caused by the excessive use of fertilizers in a… Show more
