Distribution of typical denitrifying functional genes and diversity of the <i>nirS</i>-encoding bacterial community related to environmental characteristics of river sediments
Denitrification in river sediments leads to nitrate removal from the aquatic system; therefore, it is necessary to understand functional diversity of denitrifier communities in the system. Sediment samples (0–25 cm depth) were collected from three typical locations along the Pearl River. The real-ti...
