Abstract excerpt
The expression of five denitrification genes coding for two nitrate reductases (narG and napA), two nitrite reductases (nirS and nirK), and nitrous oxide reductase (nosZ) was analyzed by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR of mRNA extracted from two sediment samples obtained in the River Colne estuary (United Kingdom), which receives high nitrogen inputs and for which high denitrification rates have been observed. The...
