Nitric oxide reductase-targeted real-time PCR quantification of denitrifier populations in soil
The quantification of denitrifying bacteria is a component in the further understanding of denitrification processes in the environment. Real-time PCR primers were designed to target two segments of the denitrifier ... -
Changes in bacterial denitrifier community abundance over time in an agricultural field and their relationship with denitrification activity
This study measured total bacterial and denitrifier community abundances over time in an agricultural soil cropped to potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) by using quantitative PCR. Samples were collected on 10 dates from ... -
Nitric Oxide Reductase Gene Expression and Nitrous Oxide Production in Nitrate-Grown Pseudomonas mandelii
Pure cultures of Pseudomonas mandelii were incubated with or without nitrate, which acts as a substrate and an electron acceptor for denitrification. Nitric oxide reductase (cnorB) gene expression was measured using a ... -
Effect of pH and Temperature on Denitrification Gene Expression and Activity in Pseudomonas mandelii
Pseudomonas mandelii liquid cultures were studied to determine the effect of pH and temperature on denitrification gene expression, which was quantified by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. Denitrification was ... -
Effect of Nitrate and Acetylene on nirS, cnorB, and nosZ Expression and Denitrification Activity in Pseudomonas mandelii
Nitrate acts as an electron acceptor in the denitrification process. The effect of nitrate in the range of 0 to 1,000 mg/liter on Pseudomonas mandelii nirS, cnorB, and nosZ gene expression was studied, using quantitative ... -
Permeable Synthetic Covers for Controlling Emissions from Liquid Dairy Manure
Liquid manure storages emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) and ammonia (NH(3)), which can have negative effects in the atmosphere and ecosystems. Installing a floating cover on liquid manure storages is one approach for ... -
Changes in Denitrifier Abundance, Denitrification Gene mRNA Levels, Nitrous Oxide Emissions, and Denitrification in Anoxic Soil Microcosms Amended with Glucose and Plant Residues
In agricultural cropping systems, crop residues are sources of organic carbon -
Controlled release fertilizer product effects on potato crop response and nitrous oxide emissions under rain-fed production on a medium-textured soil
Zebarth, B. J., Snowdon, E., Burton, D. L., Goyer, C. and Dowbenko, R. 2012. Controlled release fertilizer product effects on potato crop response and nitrous oxide emissions under rain-fed production on a medium-textured ... -
Modification of the biophysical water function to predict the change in soil mineral nitrogen concentration resulting from concurrent mineralization and denitrification
Georgallas, A., Dessureault-Rompre, J., Zebarth, B. J., Burton, D. L., Drury, C. F. and Grant, C. A. 2012. Modification of the biophysical water function to predict the change in soil mineral nitrogen concentration ...
