Labile Carbon and NO 3 - from treated wastewater

Slide 8

Labile Carbon and NO 3 - from treated wastewater NO 3 - from agricultural runoff

Slide 9

Labile Carbon and NO 3 - from treated wastewater NO 3 - from agricultural runoff Aerobic Respiration: Labile Carbon + Oxygen CO 2 +H 2 O + energy

Slide 10

Labile Carbon and NO 3 - from treated wastewater NO 3 - from agricultural runoff Aerobic Respiration: Labile Carbon + Oxygen CO 2 +H 2 O + energy Anaerobic Respiration: Some bacteria use Nitrate as an electron acceptor. This is the process of Denitrification.
