Strategic carbon source supplementation enhances nitrite degradation by Pantoea sp. A5 in variable temperature conditions.

The expanding global demand for sustainable aquaculture underscores the need for efficient water quality management, particularly in controlling harmful nitrogenous compounds like nitrites. This study explores the effectiveness of Pantoea sp. A5, a nitrite-degrading bacterium isolated from food waste, reduces nitrite levels in aquaculture systems, focusing on the role of carbon sources like glucose and glycerol.
