Niche Partitioning of the N Cycling Microbial Community of an Offshore Oxygen Deficient Zone
Microbial communities in marine oxygen deficient zones (ODZs) are responsible for up to half of marine N loss through conversion of nutrients to N2O and N2. This N loss is accomplished by a consortium of diverse microbes, many of which remain uncultured. Here, we characterize genes for all steps in...
