Denitrification is a facultative respiratory pathway in which nitrite (NO2−), nitric oxide (NO),
and nitrous oxide (N2O) are successively reduced to nitrogen gas (N2), effectively closing …

"… a number of chapters provide excellent summaries of the modern methods available for
studying fungal ecology, along with those more traditional methods that are still extremely …

Estuarine systems are the major conduits for the transfer of nitrate from agricultural and other
terrestrial-anthropogenic sources into marine ecosystems. Within estuarine sediments some …

Although several Gram-positive denitrifiers have been characterized in the past, there is still
uncertainty about the occurrence of the denitrification trait among these bacteria. In an …

Denitrifying organisms are essential in removing fixed nitrogen pollutants from ecosystems
(eg sewage sludge). They can be detrimental (eg for agricultural soil) and can also produce …

Sandy or permeable sediment deposits cover the majority of the shallow ocean seafloor,
and yet the associated bacterial communities remain poorly described. The objective of this …

Bacterial denitrification in agricultural soils is a major source of nitrous oxide, a potent
greenhouse gas. This study examined the culturable bacterial population of denitrifiers in …

Changes in spatio-temporal distribution of bacterial and denitrifying communities were
qualitatively studied in a microbial mat from Camargue (France). During a diel and a …

The microbial community and the nirS-and nirK-encoding denitrifiers in the intertidal
sediments along Laizhou Bay in China were studied using pyrosequencing and real-time …

A functional gene microarray was used to investigate denitrifier community composition and
nitrite reductase (nirS) gene expression in sediments along the estuarine gradient in …
