Aerobic denitrification or co-respiration the simultaneous use of both oxygen (O₂) and nitrate (NO₃⁻) as oxidizing agents, performed by various genera of microorganisms. This process differs from anaerobic denitrification not only in its insensitivity to the presence of oxygen, but also in that it has a higher potential to create the harmful byproduct nitrous oxide.
