It might just go into the nitrogen cycle...turn to ammonia, nitrite, nitrate. I'm not sure how that works in a low oxygen zone though. It might skip nitrate and go right into gas form and exit.
Nitrate reactors move pretty slow....it might pump out bacteria laden water (dead or alive?).
A lot of things it "could" do...maybe break the aminos down into elemental sulfer or sulfate or sufide depending on how much oxygen is there. (I have no idea why I think that).
