Abstract

dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) and partial denitrification, accompanied by incomplete denitrification. In addition, key metabolic processes-including glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, purine metabolism, and the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle-play essential roles in supplying energy, regulating metabolic fluxes, and maintaining cellular homeostasis. Collectively, these findings underscore the remarkable nitrate removal capability of the novel strain MJ9 and provide valuable insights into its metabolic adaptations under anaerobic and acidic conditions.
