Some diazotrophs produce a vanadium-containing VFe protein in addition to the MoFe protein. The vanadium-containing nitrogenase converts N2 to NH3 and also converts CO to compounds such as ethane and propane. What aspect of the standard nitrogenase reaction is responsible for the production of alkanes?
Under anoxic conditions, biological denitrification of waste water by activated sludge results in the
conversion of nitrate to nitrogen gas. Sludge is microorganisms, and these microorganisms carry out
this reaction, this is a biological reaction. When acetic acid provides the carbon source, the reaction
can be represented as follows:
5CH3COOH + 8NO3 → 4N2+ 10CO2 + 6H20 + 8HO
Acetic acid
Nitrate
a) Is the stoichiometric equation balanced? write down the number of atoms of each species on left
side and also on the right side of this equation.
b) In the absence of side reactions, what is the yield of nitrogen from acetic acid in g g1?
c) A certain waste water contains 6.0 mM acetic acid and 7mM NaNO3. If 25% of the acetic acid and
15% of the nitrate (NO3) are consumed in other reactions (e.g, for growth of the microorganisms in
the sludge), which is the limiting substrate in the denitrification reaction?
d) For the situation described in part c), what mass of gaseous nitrogen (N2) in…
What is the detailed physiology of Sulfur Oxidizing Organisms (e.g. bacteria) in terms of metabolism, physical properties, diversity, and distribution?
