Assessment of Heterotrophic Nitrification Capacity in Bacillus spp. and its Potential Application in the Removal of Nitrogen from Aquaculture Water

The accumulation of nitrogen (-N) is a serious problem in aquaculture as it could lead to mass mortality events of the cultivated species. Chemilitotrophic nitrification is the most recognized in nitrogen removal underestimating the role of heterotrophic nitrifiers. In the present study, the heterot...
