A critical review of aerobic denitrification: Insights into the intracellular electron transfer

Yang, Jixian, Feng, Liang, Pi, Shanshan, Cui, Di, Ma, Fang, Zhao, He-ping, Li, Ang·2020·Science of The Total Environment

Abstract

Aerobic denitrification is a novel biological nitrogen removal technology, which has been widely investigated as an alternative to the conventional denitrification and for its unique advantages. To fully comprehend aerobic denitrification, it is essential to clarify the regulatory mechanisms of intracellular electron transfer during aerobic denitrification. However, reports on intracellular electron transfer during aerobic denitrification are rather limited. Thus, the purpose of this review is to discuss the molecular mechanism of aerobic denitrification from the perspective of electron transfer, by summarizing the advancements in current research on electron transfer based on conventional denitrification. Firstly, the implication of aerobic denitrification is briefly discussed, and the status of current research on aerobic denitrification is summarized. Then, the occurring foundation and significance of aerobic denitrification are discussed based on a brief review of the key components involved in the electron transfer of denitrifying enzymes. Moreover, a strategy for enhancing the efficiency of aerobic denitrification is proposed on the basis of the regulatory mechanisms of denitrification enzymes. Finally, scientific outlooks are given for further investigation on aerobic denitrification in the future. This review could help clarify the mechanism of aerobic denitrification from the perspective of electron transfer.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
