Rapid Succession of Actively Transcribing Denitrifier Populations in Agricultural Soil During an Anoxic Spell
Denitrification allows sustained respiratory metabolism during periods of anoxia, an advantage in soils with frequent anoxic spells. However, the gains may be more than evened out by the energy cost of producing the denitrification machinery, particularly if the anoxic spell is short. This dilemma c...
