Modified microbiology through enhanced denitrification by addition of various organic substances-temperature effect.

ABSTRACT: Worldwide, the environmental nitrate (NO₃^-) problem is increasingly coming into focus. These increases in NO₃^- concentration result mainly from agricultural inputs and are further exacerbated by decreasing and finite geogenic NO₃^- degradation capacity in aquifers. Thus, treatment methods are becoming more and more important. In this study, the effects of enhanced denitrification with addition of organic carbon (C) on thereby autochthonous occurring microbiology and compared at room temperature as well as 10 °C were investigated. Incubation of bacteria and fungi was carried out using natural sediments without degradation capacity and groundwater with high NO₃^- concentrations. Addition of the four applied
