Identification of denitrifying bacteria diversity in an activated sludge system by using nitrite reductase genes.

Biotechnology letters - 1 Oct 2005

You Sheng-Jie

Abstract excerpt

Nitrite reduction is the key step in the denitrification reaction with two predominant types of nitrite reductase genes: nirS and nirK. The diversity of denitrifying bacteria in a municipal wastewater treatment plant is described by using both these genes. Of the cultured colonies, 22.5% contained the NirS gene and 12.5% the nirK gene. These nitrite reductase-containing colonies could be further divided into five...
