TL;DR: Comparison of mass balance and stoichiometric approaches that constrain estimates of denitrification at large scales with point measurements (made using multiple methods), in multiple systems, is likely to propel more improvement in Denitrification methods over the next few years.

TL;DR: It is suspected that the importance of O2 respiration in many coastal sediments has been overestimated, whereas metal oxide reduction (both Fe and Mn reduction) has probably been well underestimated.

TL;DR: In this article, a new method for accurate and easy measurement of denitrification in sediments is presented, in which the water overlying intact sediment cores was enriched with 15NO3− which mixed with the 14NO3 − of the natural sources of NO3− and the formation of unlabeled (14N14N) dinitrogen pairs was measured by mass spectrometry after a few hours incubation.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that the native conductors are long, filamentous bacteria that abounded in sediment zones with electric currents and along their length they contained strings with distinct properties in accordance with a function as electron transporters.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that electric currents running through defaunated sediment couple oxygen consumption at the sediment surface to oxidation of hydrogen sulphide and organic carbon deep within the sediment and suggests that the electric current was conducted by bacterial nanowires combined with pyrite, soluble electron shuttles and outer-membrane cytochromes.
