The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogen is converted into various chemical forms as it circulates among the atmosphere and terrestrial and marine ecosystems. The conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical processes. Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, and denitrification. The majority of Earth's atmosphere (78%) is nitrogen, making it the largest pool of nitrogen. However, atmospheric nitrogen has limited availability for biological use, leading to a scarcity of usable nitrogen in many types of ecosystems. The nitrogen cycle is of particular interest to ecologists because nitrogen availability can affect the rate of key ecosystem processes, including primary production and decomposition. Human activities such as fossil fuel combustion, use of artificial nitrogen fertilizers, and release of nitrogen in wastewater have dramatically altered the global nitrogen cycle.

La desnitrificación es un proceso metabólico que usa el nitrato como receptor terminal de electrones en condiciones anaerobias (ausencia de oxígeno) principalmente, conduciendo finalmente a nitrógeno molecular (gas, N2). La realizan exclusivamente ciertos microorganismos, entre los que destacan Alcaligenes, Paracoccus, Pseudomonas, Thiobacillus, Rhizobium, Thiosphaera, entre otros.Algunas bacterias desnitrificantes son quimiolitoautótrofas y pueden oxidar compuestos inorgánicos de azufre como sulfhídrico (H2S), azufre elemental (S0), tiosulfato(S2O32-) o sulfito(SO32-) anaeróbicamente a expensas de la reducción del nitrato.7 Entre ellas, autótrofos obligados que crezcan a pHs neutros tan solo se conocen dos: Thiobacillus denitrificans y Thiomicrospira denitrificans8 y pueden llevar a cabo la sulfoxidación en condiciones aeróbicas o anóxicas. Recientemente se ha aislado Thioalkalivibrio denitrificans, un autótrofo, oxidador de azufre, capaz de crecer anaeróbicamente usando nitrito como aceptor de electrones a pH básico9
Las ventajas de este proceso respecto a la heterotrofía son varias. Para el tratamiento de aguas residuales, evita tener que añadir materia orgánica, reduciéndose así los costes, y para tratamiento de aguas potables, evita carbono residual en el efluente, ya que reduce el riesgo de sobrecrecimiento en los sistemas a tratar y de desinfección de la zona por los productos producidos debido a que los organismos autotrófos crecen más despacio y producen menos biomasa, con la consiguiente formación de menos productos celulares.10 Además los organismos autótrofos están mejor adaptados para el tratamiento de aguas subterráneas porque crecen a bajas concentraciones de compuestos orgánicos biodegradables. También posee un gran interés comercial y desde el punto de vista de la biotecnología ambiental puesto que es uno de los pocos ejemplos en los que puede oxidarse biológicamente compuestos reducidos del azufre (sulfoxidación) en ausencia de oxígeno elemental. Pero la principal ventaja de este proceso es la aparición de la desnitrificación acoplada a la oxidación de compuestos reducidos del azufre, combinando la eliminación simultánea de dos tipos de contaminantes, los nitratos y los compuestos reducidos del azufre (ecuación 2), teniendo así gran interés por sus aplicaciones biotecnológicas.
Principales parámetros que afectan la desnitrificación
Temperatura
De acuerdo con la literatura, los microorganismos desnitrificantes presentan actividad entre 5 y 75 °C.11 Se ha visto que no existe un cambio significativo en la actividad desnitrificante entre 20 y 30 °C con consorcios provenientes de plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales.12
pH
El pH óptimo para la desnitrificación se encuentra entre 7 y 8.413 A valores de pH debajo de 6, se inhibe la enzima óxido nitroso reductasa y se acumula óxido nitroso.1411 En la revisión de Cervantes-Carrillo et al. (2000)13 se reporta que en cultivos continuos no se observa ninguna acumulación
In statistics, the two-way analysis of variance is an extension of the one-way ANOVA that examines the influence of two different categorical independent variables on one continuous dependent variable.
Weed biology is the study of the establishment, growth, reproduction, and life cycles of weed species and weed societies/vegetation. Weed biology is an integrated science with the aim of minimizing the negative effects, as well as using and developing the positive effects, of weeds.
Primary salinity is caused by natural processes such the accumulation of salt from rainfall over many thousands of years or from the weathering of rocks.
The study revealed that the range for the pH values was recorded between 6.8 and 8.5 mg/L. Average Electrical Conductivity (EC) was recorded between 103 µS/cm – 33016 µS/cm and average Salinity was recorded between recorded 0.1ppt-31.40ppt during the sampling period.
The current nitrate levels in drinking water in Jaffna peninsula are much higher than the WHO and SLS levels. The nitrate-N content of groundwater in the Jaffna Peninsula ranges from 0.1 to 45 mg/L as per the literature though the permissible nitrate-N level in drinking water is 10 mg/L.
Phosphorus (P), next to nitrogen, is often the most limiting nutrient for crop and forage production. Phosphorus' primary role in a plant is to store and transfer energy produced by photosynthesis for use in growth and reproductive processes. Soil P cycles in a variety forms in the soil
Paddy fields account for around 20% of human-related emissions of methane — a potent greenhouse gas. Farmers normally flood rice fields throughout the growing season, meaning that methane is produced by microbes underwater as they help to decay any flooded organic matter
Routine maintenance involves complete replacement of equipment based on time intervals without any inspections. This is also a common maintenance strategy applied to industrial equipment, for example, for the replacement of filters and wearing components
A rose is a woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae, or the flower it bears. There are over three hundred species and tens of thousands of cultivars. They form a group of plants that can be erect shrubs, climbing, or trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles.
There are two main types of hydraulic power transmission systems: hydrokinetic, such as the hydraulic coupling and the hydraulic torque converter, which use the kinetic energy of the liquid; and hydrostatic, which use the pressure energy of the liquid. The hydraulic coupling is a device that links two rotatable shafts.
Nursery management may be defined as the sum of the activities performed for the successful production, care, and marketing of different planting materials (seeds, seedlings, cuttings, etc.) in a different nursery section.

Hymenoptera is one of the largest orders of insects and includes many species of bees, wasps, hornets, sawflies, and ants. The word Hymenoptera is derived from the ancient Greek words for hymen, meaning membrane, and pteron, translated to wing. Over 130 000 species are recognized, with many more yet to be described.
Current estimates of soil C storage potential are based on models or factors that assume linearity between C input levels and C stocks at steady-state, implying that SOC stocks could increase without limit as C input levels increase. However, some soils show little or no increase in steady-state SOC stock with increasing C input levels suggesting that SOC can become saturated with respect to C input.
Thrips (order Thysanoptera) are minute (mostly 1 mm long or less), slender insects with fringed wings and unique asymmetrical mouthparts. Different thrips species feed mostly on plants by puncturing and sucking up the contents, although a few are predators. Entomologists have described approximately 6,000 species.
Artificial insemination is the deliberate introduction of sperm into a female's cervix or uterine cavity for the purpose of achieving a pregnancy through in vivo fertilization by means other than sexual intercourse or in vitro fertilisation.

symbiotic N fixation & challenges to extension to NSupun Madushanka
Some nitrogen-fixing bacteria have symbiotic relationships with [[plant groups, especially legumes. Looser non-symbiotic relationships between diazotrophs and plants are often referred to as associative, as seen in nitrogen fixation on rice roots. Nitrogen fixation occurs between some termites and fungi.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Introduction about Nitrogen and
Nitrogen cycle.
What is Nitrogen?
Nitrogen is,
• The largest single source in the atmosphere.
(N2-78%)
• An element used to build DNA,RNA and
proteins,this is the building block of life.
Most living organisms are unable to use nitrogen
as it exists in the atmosphere. (Why ???)
It can be used by most living organism by travelling
through one of the four processes in the nitrogen
cycle.
6. Plant absorb nitrates and grow
Ammonium (NH+
4)
Nitrosomonas
Ammonia change to nitrites(NO2
-)
Nitrobacter
Nitrifying bacteria in soil convert
nitrites to nitrates (NO3
-)
6
Nitrification
7. 7
The bacteria are autotrophic and the reaction is
performed under aerobic condition.
The importance of this step in the nitrogen cycle is
the conversion of ammonia in to nitrate.
As nitrate is the primary nitrogen source present
in the soil for the plant.
8. Nitrification is a two steps process.
1st step Ammonium oxidation
8
Ammonia – oxidizing bacteria are involved,
Ex:- chemoautotrophs sp.
These microorganisms are growing with
ammonia as the energy and co2 as the main
carbon source.
9. These species are distributed in a great variety
of ,
soil
oceans
rivers
lakes
Brackish
environment
Sewage disposal
systems
9
10. 10
2nd Step - Nitrite oxidation
Nitrite oxidizing bacteria are found in aerobic, but
occasionally in anaerobic environments where
organic matter is mineralized.
They are found in the area where the ammonia
oxidizing bacteria are living other than that,
Inside stones and historical buildings
Inside corroded bricks
On concrete surfaces
Cooling towers and high way tunnels
11. How does nitrogen re enter the atmosphere in
the nitrogen cycle?
• This process called “Denitrification’’
11
12. What is Denitrification (Important)
• Denitrification is convert Nitrate (N03
-) in the soil to atmospheric
Nitrogen (N2) replenishing the atmosphere.
• Many soil microorganisms are involving.( mostly heterotrophic
bacteria species)
• Denitrifying microbes require very low O2 concentration of less
than 10% .
Examples: Pesudomonas
Achromobacter
Micrococcus
12
13. After Nitrification process
Nitrogen in atmosphere closes the Nitrogen cycle (N2)
Process of Denitrification
Nitrite (NO2
- )
Nitrate (N03
- )
Nitric Oxide ( NO)
Nitrous oxide (N2O )
13
14. Importance of Nitrification and
Denitrification
Nitrification Denitrifation
• Preferred chemical form of nitrogen
uptake from soil or water.
• Produces accessible plant forms of
nitrogen
• Removes fixed from the ecosystem
• Enhance the greenhouse effect
• Provides nitrate to the plant, which
acts as the important nitrogen source
• Denitrification is used in waste water
treatment and is beneficial for aquatic
habitats
14
15. Key Difference Between
Nitrification And Denitrification
Nitrification Denitrification
Meaning The part of nitrogen cycle where
ammonium is convert into
nitrate.
The level where reduction of
nitrate is made in to
nitrogen gas.
The process involves Nitrifying bacteria like
Nitrobacter , Nitrosomonas
Aerobatic.
Grow slowly.
Denitrifying bacteria like
spirillum, lactobacillus .
Anaerobic.
Grows rapidly.
PH and temperature The process occurs at the pH
between 6.5 to 8.5 and
temperature between 16 to 35
degree C.
The process occurs at the
pH between 7.0to 8.5 and
temperature between 26
to 38 degree C.
End product Nitrate Nitrogen

16. 15
Conclusion
Nitrogen is the substantial part of the
atmosphere, as well as plants and animals
also.
As nitrogen cannot be used directly and so is
transferred in through various sources.
Nitrification and denitrification are two major
steps in the nitrogen cycle and found
variations in their products and needed.
