Nitrite and nitrate reduction drive sediment microbial nitrogen cycling in a eutrophic lake

Dandan Zhang et al.

Summary: The anaerobic microbial nitrogen removal process in lake sediments is an important part of the nitrogen cycling in lake ecosystems. However, the mechanisms regulated by denitrifying and anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria in lake sediments are not well understood. This study examined the denitrifying and anammox bacterial communities in Lake Donghu sediments and found that the concentrations of NO(3)(-) and NO2-, as well as Nar enzyme activity, were key factors affecting these communities. The enrichment experiments confirmed the divergence of denitrification and anammox rates with the addition of NO2-. The study advances our understanding of the mechanisms driving denitrification and anammox in lake sediments and provides new insights into coupled denitrification-anammox nitrogen removal in eutrophic lake ecosystems.
