Estimates of denitrification and nitrification in coastal and estuarine sediments.
Denitrification and nitrification in sediments of Tama Estuary and Odawa Bay, Japan, were investigated by the combined use of a continuous-flow sediment-water system and a N tracer technique. At Odawa Bay, the nitrification rate was comparable to the nitrate reduction rate, and 70% of the N(2) evolved originated from nitrogenous oxides (nitrate and nitrite) which were produced by the action of ...
متن کاملAnoxic nitrification in marine sediments
Nitrate peaks are found in pore-water profiles in marine sediments at depths considerably below the conventional zone of oxic nitrification. These have been interpreted to represent nonsteady-state effects produced by the activity of nitrifying bacteria, and suggest that nitrification occurs throughout the anoxic sediment region. In this study, ΣNO3 peaks and molecular analysis of DNA and RNA e...
متن کاملCoupled nitrification–denitrification in autotrophic and heterotrophic estuarine sediments: On the influence of benthic microalgae
Field data obtained from 18 European estuaries using the isotope pairing technique were analyzed for trends in relationship between activity of benthic microalgae and coupled nitrification–denitrification. Kruskal–Wallis tests and analyses of covariance performed on the field dataset showed strong statistical evidence for the hypothesis that sediments colonized by microalgae whose activity exce...
متن کاملSusceptibility of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria to nitrification inhibitors.
Activity of nitrification inhibitors to several typical ammonia-oxidizing bacteria isolated recently, i. e. Nitrosococcus, Nitrosolobus, Nitrosomonas, Nitrosospira and Nitrosovibrio species was assayed using 2-amino-4-methyl-trichloromethyl-1,3,5-triazine (MAST), 2-amino-4-tribromomethyl-6-trichloromethyl-1,3,5-triazine (Br-MAST), 2-chloro-6-trichloromethylpyridine (nitrapyrin) and others, and ...
متن کاملEvidence for suboxic nitrification in recent marine sediments
The classical scheme of biogeochemical zones (BGZ) is known to be an oversimplification of the microbial processes that occur in organic-rich marine sediments. Results from a coupled deployment of pore-water gel probes in Loch Duich, Scotland, provide direct evidence for rapid recycling within the iron reduction (FeR) and sulphate reduction (SR) zones. High resolution porewater profiles obtaine...
