Answer:

All this combination of reactions is summarized in that the bacteria reduced nitrate, that is, they added protons to said compound, giving nitrite as a product.

By promoting the appearance of nitrite and that it increases in its concentrations when the zinc dust is thrown away, it becomes reddish since there was a change in pH, that is, the medium was acidified.
