Connecting the dots: Linking nitrogen cycle gene expression to nitrogen fluxes in marine sediment mesocosms

Connecting molecular information directly to microbial transformation rates remains a challenge, despite the availability of molecular methods to investigate microbial biogeochemistry. By combining information on gene abundance and expression for key genes with quantitative modeling of nitrogen flux...
