Zusammenfassung:Simple gas handling equipment is presented and its use is described in biological denitrification potential measurements. Preliminary results are given for denitrification potentials at latitude 22 degree in South America. For the upper 5 cm of the sediment layer a first order kinetic process is found with a nitrate concentration decrement rate of 12% per day.
