Hotspots of anaerobic ammonium oxidation at land-freshwater interfaces

Hotspots of anaerobic ammonium oxidation at land-freshwater interfaces

For decades, the conversion of organic nitrogen to dinitrogen gas by heterotrophic bacteria, termed heterotrophic denitrification, was assumed to be the main pathway of nitrogen loss in natural ecosystems. Recently, however, autotrophic bacteria have been shown to oxidize ammonium in the absence of...
