This is a differential medium. It is used to determine if an organism is capable of reducing nitrate (NO 3-) to nitrite (NO 2-) or other nitrogenous compounds via the action of the enzyme nitratase ...

Until recently the inorganic anions nitrate (NO 3 −) and nitrite (NO 2 −) were considered inert end products of nitric oxide (NO) metabolism and unfavorable dietary constituents.However, a new ...

(NPK Fertilisers). Fertilisers containing nitrate ions (NO 3-) not only contain an essential nutrient, but are also very soluble. Different crops need fertilisers with different proportions of ...

Ammonia (NH 3) is traditionally produced through the energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process which converts nitrogen (N 2) and hydrogen (H 2) into NH 3 at high temperatures (400–500℃) and ...
