The biogeochemical consequences of denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) have a significant influence on nitrogen (N) cycling in the ecosystem. Many researchers have explored these two pathways in soil and sediment ecosystems under anaerobic conditions. However, limited information is available regarding the influence of external environmental conditions on these two pathways in a well-defined experimental system under aerobic conditions. In this study, the impacts of the external environmental factors (carbon source, C/N ratio, pH, and dissolved oxygen) on nitrite reduction through the denitrification and DNRA routes in Pseudomonas :putida Y-9 were studied. Results found that sodium citrate and sodium acetate favored denitrification and DNRA, respectively. Furthermore, neutral pH and aerobic conditions both facilitated DNRA and denitrification. Especially, low C/N ratios motivated the DNRA while high C/N ratios stimulated the denitrification, which was opposite to the observed phenomena under anaerobic conditions.
