Abstract in another language
Nitrification was investigated in a model freshwater sediment by the combined use of microsensors and fluorescence in situ hybridization with rRNA-targeted oligonucleotide probes. In situ nitrification activity was restricted mainly to the upper 2 mm of the sediment and coincided with the maximum abundance of nitrifying bacteria, i.e. 1.5·10^7 cells cm-3 for ammonia-oxidizing Beta-proteobacteria (AOB) and 8.6·10^7 cells cm-3 for Nitrospira-like nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). Cell numbers of AOB decreased more rapidly with depth than numbers of NOB. For the first time, Nitrospira-like bacteria could be quantified and correlated with in situ nitrite oxidation rates in a sediment. Estimated cell-specific nitrite oxidation rates were 1.2-2.7 fmol NO2- cell-1 h-1.
