Nitrification Activity of the Sponge Chondrosia reniformis Under Elevated Concentrations of Ammonium

Nitrification Activity of the Sponge Chondrosia reniformis Under Elevated Concentrations of Ammonium

This study examined the ability of a Mediterranean demosponge Chondrosia reniformis to oxidize exogenous ammonium, simulating N-rich conditions that occur near finfish farms. We hypothesized that as the concentration of ammonium increases in the surrounding seawater, nitrification mediated by microb...
