Linking DNRA community structure and activity in a shallow lagoonal estuarine system
Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) and denitrification are two nitrate respiration pathways in the microbial nitrogen cycle. Diversity and abundance of denitrifying bacteria have been extensively examined in various ecosystems. However, studies on DNRA bacterial diversity are limited, and the linkage between the structure and activity of DNRA communities has yet to be discovered...
متن کاملBiological Criteria, Environmental Health and Estuarine Macrobenthic Community Structure
Biological criteria for defining water quality and the presence of acceptable levels of benthic resources are evaluated for estuarine macrobenthic communities of the lower Chesapeake Bay, USA. Models of expected community values as a function of salinity are presented for community biomass, numbers of individuals, species richness, percent biomass of deep-dwelling species, percent biomass of eq...
متن کاملQuantification of Sterol and Triterpenol Biomarkers in Sediments of the Cananéia-Iguape Estuarine-Lagoonal System (Brazil) by UHPLC-MS/MS.
Sterols and triterpenols present in sedimentary cores from 12 stations along the Cananéia-Iguape estuarine-lagoonal system were investigated by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Ten sterols and three triterpenols were identified and quantified, indicating both natural and anthropogenic sources. The relative distributions of sterol and triterpen...
متن کاملSeasonal Dynamics of Benthic Communities in a Shallow Sublittoral Site of Laguna Estuarine System (south, Brazil)
Meurer, A.Z. & Netto,S.A. 2007. Seasonal dynamics of benthic communities in a shallow sublittoral site of Laguna Estuarine System (South, Brazil). Braz. J. Aquat. Sci. Technol. 11(2):53-62. ISSN 1808-7035. The seasonal variability of the benthic community in a shallow sublittoral site was analyzed at the Laguna Estuarine System, a chocked lagoon in South Brazil. Seasonal replicate samples for t...
متن کاملBenthic infaunal community structuring in an acidified tropical estuarine system
BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that increasing ocean acidification (OA) should have strong direct and indirect influences on marine invertebrates. While most theory and application for OA is based on relatively physically-stable oceanic ecological systems, less is known about the effects of acidification on nearshore and estuarine systems. Here, we investigated the structuring of a benthic i...
