“…P. denitrificans is renowned for its ability to carry out biological denitrification, an anaerobic respiratory process. This process parallels that of aerobic microorganisms, with nitrate (NO − 3 ) and nitrite (NO − 2 ) ions taking the place of O 2 as the final electron acceptors (Olaya-Abril et al, 2018;Romualdo-Martínez et al, 2022), It is worth noting that not all nitrogen oxidation-reduction processes qualify as denitrification. Only those tied to ATP synthesis are regarded as such (Azziz et al, 2016).…”
