5. denitrification
   1. <biochemistry> The removal of an oxygen atom from a nitrogen compound (like NO3 to NO2, NO2 to NO, or NO to N2). This is something soil bacteria do successively until they release nitrogen gas. ... Conversion of nitrate into nitrogen gases under anaerobic conditions, resulting in loss of ni...

12. Denitrification
    `Denitrification` is a microbially facilitated process of nitrate reduction that may ultimately produce molecular nitrogen (N₂) through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products. This respiratory process reduces oxidized forms of nitrogen in response to the oxidation ...
