✦ Synopsis

A novel unifying kinetic model of the sequential reduction of nitrogen oxides by denitrifying microorganisms is proposed. Its mathematical structure is based on an analogy between the organization of the cell membrane electron transport chain and an electric circuit. The resulting kinetic model is simple enough to be of practical use as both an interpretative and a predictive tool. Furthermore, previous attempts to develop unifying models of denitrification (predicting the accumulation of any number of intermediates) are briefly reviewed and compared with the one hereby proposed. The model is validated with experimental data reported elsewhere, for nitrite accumulation by Pseudomonas fluorescens and nitrite and nitrous oxide accumulation by Paracoccus denitrificans.

The interaction term of the kinetic equation is expressed in the form of a sum of two terms: The one term is due to binary collisions between close particles, and the other is due to collective interactions among remote particles. This kinetic equation is exact up to the first order in the plasma pa
