What's the difference between nitrate and nitrify?

Nitrate


Definition:

  • (n.) A salt of nitric acid.

Example Sentences:

  • (14) Lanthanum nitrate used in this investigations is a valuable marker of the intercellular spaces.
  • (15) Orotic acid inhibited, dose-dependently DNA synthesis in hepatocytes induced by epidermal growth factor, transforming growth factor alpha, hepatocyte growth factor, acidic fibroblast growth factor, or plasma from rats exposed to various liver cell-proliferative stimuli, such as two-thirds partial hepatectomy, lead nitrate, cyproterone acetate, ethylene dibromide, or a diet deficient in choline.
  • (16) It is suggested that the atmosphere of Athens favours the formation of secondary direct-acting mutagens due to the oxidation and nitration of PAH by ozone and nitrogen oxides, which are more abundant in the late spring months.
  • (17) Among other evidence against the classical theory for the mechanism of chlorate toxicity, is the finding that not all mutants lacking nitrate reductase are clorate resistant.
  • (18) Since no evaluation of the relative merits of electro and chemical cautery has been reported, a prospective randomized study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of electro-cautery and cautery with silver nitrate.
  • (19) Total bacterial counts, nitrate-reducing bacteria and nitrite concentration were determined in fasting gastric juice before and after 4 weeks of treatment with a strong or with a mild antacid drug, a placebo preparation and the spasmolytic agent papaverine which is known to inhibit gastric evacuation.
  • (20) The effect of ammonia is partially reversed by nitrate.

Nitrify


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To combine or impregnate with nitrogen; to convert, by oxidation, into nitrous or nitric acid; to subject to, or produce by, nitrification.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The influence of salt mixtures consisting of Ca(H2PO4)2, trace elements, CaSO4, CaCO3, Na2CO3, NaCl and K2SO4 in different combinations on the nitrifying power, evolution of carbon dioxide and the total number of bacteria was studied in arid soils (sandy and alluvial) and semi-humid ones (chernozem and rendzina).
  • (2) However, nitrification is a cause of significant errors in measuring BOD, particularly when a large population of nitrifying organisms are existing in water such as effluents from biological treatment plants.
  • (3) The abundance of nitrifying bacteria, determined by most-probable-number procedures, within habitats of the Passaic River was as follows: rooted aquatic plants greater than algae approximately equal to rocks greater than sediments greater than greater than water.
  • (4) Extracts of the hyphae of a nitrifying strain of Aspergillus flavus formed nitrite and nitrate from 3-nitropropionate.
  • (5) The effects of two herbicides, Sencor and Goltix, on nitrification in two soils were studied using a mixed culture of nitrifying bacteria.
  • (6) Concentrated pine bark tannins, similar in origin to those in effluents at the well-nitrifying chipmill site, were tested for toxicity to pure cultures of nitrifying bacteria.
  • (7) The counts of nitrifying bacteria also increased whereas those of desulfurizers remained non-affected.
  • (8) Three bacteria, two of which were previously noted as active heterotrophic nitrifiers, were examined for their ability to grow and nitrify with the siderophore deferrioxamine B as the carbon source.
