What is denitifying bacteria?

This is a misprint of 'denitrifying'. Denitrifying bacteria are commonly present in anaerobic environments, both in ocean sediments and freshwaters. They are responsible for the reduction of inorganic nitrogen compounds (nitrates NO3-) to gaseous nitrogen (NO, N2O and N2) and may be the source of all nitrogen gas in the atmosphere.
