Nitrate reduction functional genes and nitrate reduction potentials persist in deeper estuarine sediments. Why?

Nitrate reduction functional genes and nitrate reduction potentials persist in deeper estuarine sediments. Why?

Denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) are processes occurring simultaneously under oxygen-limited or anaerobic conditions, where both compete for nitrate and organic carbon. Despite their ecological importance, there has been little investigation of how denitrificati...
