 Accordingly, it has the potential for a wide variety of capabilities and applications in bioremediation.The denitrifying property of "Paracoccus denitrificans" has been used in creating a bioreactor, in this case, a tubular gel containing two bacteria, for the removal of nitrogen from wastewater.Paracoccus denitrificans reduces nitrite to nitrogen gas while "Nitrosomonas europaea" oxidizes ammonia to nitrite, thus fueling the former metabolism.
