DENITRIFIES Meaning and Definition

1. Denitrifies is a verb derived from the noun "denitrification" and refers to the process by which nitrogen compounds, specifically nitrates or nitrites, are transformed or converted into gaseous nitrogen (N2) through biological or chemical means. Denitrification occurs primarily in soil, freshwater, and marine environments, and is an essential part of the nitrogen cycle.

   In the natural environment, denitrification is predominantly carried out by certain specialized bacteria, archaea, and fungi. These microorganisms possess the ability to use nitrates or nitrites as an alternative source of oxygen under anaerobic (oxygen-limited) conditions. Through metabolic reactions, these organisms break down nitrate or nitrite molecules and release nitrogen gas as a byproduct.

   Denitrification plays a crucial role in regulating the nitrogen levels in ecosystems, as excess nitrates can lead to harmful water pollution, such as algal blooms and eutrophication. By denitrifying the nitrogen compounds, these microorganisms help restore the balance and prevent potential ecological damage.

   Additionally, denitrification is used in wastewater treatment systems as a biological process to remove excess nitrogen from the water before it is discharged into the environment. This is achieved by cultivating denitrifying bacteria in specialized treatment tanks or beds, where they mineralize nitrates or nitrites into nitrogen gas, effectively reducing the nitrogen content in the treated water.

Etymology of DENITRIFIES

The word "denitrifies" is formed by combining the prefix "de-" which means to remove or reverse, and the word "nitrate" which refers to a compound containing nitrogen and oxygen. The suffix "-ify" in English is used to form a verb indicating the act of making something happen. Therefore, "denitrifies" refers to the process of removing or reducing nitrates. However, it's important to note that "denitrifies" is a scientific term used in the field of microbiology and environmental science.
