A missing link in the estuarine nitrogen cycle?: Coupled nitrification-denitrification mediated by suspended particulate matter.


ABSTRACT: In estuarine and coastal ecosystems, the majority of previous studies have considered coupled nitrification-denitrification (CND) processes to be exclusively sediment based, with little focus on suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the water column. Here, we present evidence of CND processes in the water column of Hangzhou Bay, one of the largest macrotidal embayments in the world. Spearman's correlation analysis showed that SPM was negatively correlated with nitrate (rho?=?-0.372, P?=?0.018) and marker genes for nitrification and denitrification in the water column were detected by quantitative PCR analysis. The results showed that amoA and nir gene abundances strongly correlated with SPM (all P?
