This paper explores the bioenergetics and potential co-evolution of denitrification and aerobic respiration. The advantages and disadvantages of combining these two pathways in a single, hybrid respiratory chain are discussed and the experimental evidence for the co-respiration of nitrate and oxygen is critically reviewed. A scenario for the co-evolution of the two pathways is presented. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: The evolutionary aspects of bioenergetic systems. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.
