Insights into the Variations of Hao-Dependent Nitrifying and Nir-Dependent Denitrifying Microbial Communities in Ammonium-Graduated Lake Environments

Insights into the Variations of Hao-Dependent Nitrifying and Nir-Dependent Denitrifying Microbial Communities in Ammonium-Graduated Lake Environments

Biological nitrification and denitrification play significant roles in nitrogen-associated biogeochemical cycles. However, our understanding of the spatial scales at which microbial communities act and vary is limited. We used gene-specific metagenomic PCR to explore changes in nitrifying and denitr...
