1 N in Soil Note: soil concentrations can be anywhere, depending on vegetation, land use, etc. But a substantial amount indeed most (ca. 99%) soil nitrogen is organic Free amino acids trace amounts Amino sugars 510% Purine and Pyrimidine Bases trace amounts Bound amino acids 2050% of soil N Undescribed Lots nonprotein N Crude proteins Lignin N
2 NITROGEN MINERALIZATION / ASSIMILATION Assimilation incorporation of some substance into biomass also referred to as immobilization Mineralization conversion of organic molecules to some inorganic form e.g., CH 2 O O 2 fi CO 2 H 2 O H 2 NCH 2 COOH fi H 3 CCOOH NH 3 Ammonia (um) is the ONLY inorganic N product of mineralization
3 NITRIFICATION The conversion of ammonia(um) to nitrite then nitrate I. Ammonium oxidation NH 1.5O2 NO H ( H 2O) 3 2 G = 65kcal/mole Carried out by Nitrosomonas II. Nitrite oxidation NO O2 NO3 G = 18kcal/mole Carried out by Nitrobacter

7 NITRATE REDUCTION a heterotrophic process in 3 forms Assimilatory nitrate reduction: glucose 3NO3 3H 6CO2 3NH3 3H 2O G = ( 429kcal/mole) Not oxygen sensitive used by all organisms that assimilate NO 3 Dissimilatory nitrate reduction: glucose 3NO3 3H 6CO2 3NH3 3H 2O G = ( 429kcal/mole) Oxygen sensitive used by a few facultative anaerobes NH 3 is released to the environment importance? Nitrate is terminal electron acceptor for glucose oxidation.
8 When nitrate and a suitable carbon source are placed together in an anaerobic zone, we see plenty of N 2, N 2 O (occasionally some NO) and possibly some NO 2 NO 3 N 2 N NO 2 N 2 O Denitrification is a heterotrophic process, conditions which favor heterotrophic processes in general will favor denitrification: ph 68, 15 30ºC
9 Denitrification glucose 4.8NO3 4.8H 6CO 2 2.4N2 8.4H2O ( G = 638 kcal/mole) Oxygen sensitive used by some facultative anaerobes to eliminate electrons from the oxidation of glucose 5 NO 3 2e Note: some organisms form NO at this stage NO e N 1 2 O e N 0 2
10 Denitrification is an anaerobic process Occurs in generally anaerobic environments if anaerobic microsites available O 2 O 2 O 2 O 2 O 2 O 2 O 2
11 O 2 acetylene NO 3 NO 2 N 2 O N 2 oxidized reduced e organic CO 2 reduced oxidized By adding a little acetylene to a soil or water sample, the denitrification rate can be determined by the accumulation of N 2 O simple analysis (acetylene block method)
