NITRIFICATION AND NITRIFYING BACTERIA IN A COASTAL MICROBIAL MAT

NITRIFICATION AND NITRIFYING BACTERIA IN A COASTAL MICROBIAL MAT

The first step of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite, can be performed by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) or ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AOB). We investigated the presence of these two groups in three structurally different types of coastal microbial mats that develop along the tida...
