Abstract

The evidence concerning aerobic denitrification over the past 100 years has been reviewed and the conclusion reached that the denitrification systems of some bacteria are inhibited by oxygen, other species are capable of aerobic denitrification, or co-respiration of nitrate and oxygen. Possible mechanisms and ecological implications are discussed.
