General Information
Term aerobic respiration, using ammonia as electron donor ID (Ontology) GO:0019409 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The metabolic process in which ammonia (NH3) is oxidized to nitrite (NO2) in the presence of oxygen; enzymatic reactions convert ammonia to hydrazine, and hydrazine to nitrite.
Also Known As "aerobic ammonia oxidation to nitrite via hydrazine"
