摘要
Because Nitrosomonas europaea contains ammonia-oxidizing enzyme, nitrite reductase, and nitrous oxide reductase, the conversion of ammonia to dinitrogen was tried with different reaction conditions. In aerobic reaction conditions, ammonium was converted to nitrite (NO2-), while under oxygen-limiting or oxygen-free conditions, NO2-N formed from ammonia oxidation by N. europaea was reduced to N2O and dinitrogen with 22% conversion. During denitrification, optimal pH for the production of N2O and dinitrogen was found to be 7.0-8.0. Dinitrogen was not produced in acidic pH <7.0. A low partial oxygen pressure as well as oxygen-free conditions are favorable for high production of dinitrogen.
