Nitrification - inhibitors of ammonia oxidation
Nitrification, the conversion of ammonia into nitrate, is a key metabolic process in many different wastewater treatment systems. This post follows up on one about inhibitors of nitrite oxidation. We will update this post as we find more compounds to add in. 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
