title: Salinity decreases nitrite reductase gene diversity in denitrifying bacteria of wastewater treatment systems.
abstract: Investigation of the diversity of nirK and nirS in denitrifying bacteria revealed that salinity decreased the diversity in a nitrate-containing saline wastewater treatment system. The predominant nirS clone was related to nirS derived from marine bacteria, and the predominant nirK clone was related to nirK of the genus ALCALIGENES:
