Molecular genetic analysis of the microbial community structure in nitrifying biofilms adapted to different salinities

Nitrification, the microbial oxidation of ammonia to nitrate, is a key step inthe biological cycling of nitrogen, and is often used in wastewater treatmentfor removal of ammonium. Fish-farming in flow-through systems such asopen net pens is the largest contributor to human discharge of inorganicnutr...
