Functional gene pyrosequencing reveals core proteobacterial denitrifiers in boreal lakes
Denitrification is an important microbial process in aquatic ecosystems that can reduce the effects of eutrophication. Here, quantification and pyrosequencing of nirS, nirK and nosZ genes encoding for nitrite and nitrous oxide reductases was performed in sediment samples from four boreal lakes to de...
