Modularity of nitrogen-oxide reducing soil bacteria: linking phenotype to genotype.

Abstract excerpt

Model denitrifiers convert NO3- to N2 , but it appears that a significant fraction of natural populations are truncated, conducting only one or two steps of the pathway. To better understand the diversity of partial denitrifiers in soil and whether discrepancies arise between the presence of known N-oxide reductase genes and phenotypic features, bacteria able to reduce NO3- to NO2- were isolated from soil,...
