Information regarding denitrification

[DaisyPolyp]

For a current science class I am taking in college, I have the opportunity to write a paper on the denitrification cycle of the captive reef sandbed. Does anyone have any links or files regarding studies or hard facts in this arena? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will post the paper when I submit it in a few weeks.

I will list references I have come across in my search as to avoid duplication. I will keep this updated:
