Nitrification - inhibitors of nitrite oxidation
Nitrification, the conversion of ammonia into nitrate, is a key metabolic process in many different wastewater treatment systems. The first step, the conversion of ammonia to nitrite, is carried out by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOBs), which in most systems are generally members of the family Nitrosomonadaceae or the genus Nitrosomonas. The second step, the conversion of nitrite to nitrate, is carried out by nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOBs), with Nitrospira the most common
