Salinity decreases nitrite reductase gene diversity in denitrifying bacteria of wastewater treatment systems.
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:
