sorry dumb question
are the denitrifying bacteria that feed off of carbon dosing sources (vodka, vinegar, etc) the same as the anaerobic bacteria that live deep in rocks?
I just didnt see how vodka thats merely added to the water column would permeate deep into anaerobic zones for those bacteria to feed.
secondly,
I've read that carbon dosing leads to an increase of CO2 and a decrease in O2
However, anaerobic bacteria do not use O2 (much) so it seems these can't be the same bacteria that are using the O2 from the dosing?
