Partitioning behavior of acetic C in sedimentary rock has been studied in anaerobic atomosphere condition. Addition of nitrate salt in the solution showed good correlation between increase of oncentration of C in air and decrease of concentration of nitate salts. These results suggest that respiration of nitrifying bacteria result in the transformation of C.
