Denitrification is an ecosystem service of nitrogen load regulation along the terrestrial freshwater marine continuum. The present study documents the short-term temperature sensitivity of denitrification enzyme activity in phototrophic river biofilms as a typical microbial assemblage of this continuum. Denitrification measurements were performed using the acetylene inhibition method at four incubation temperatures: 1.1, 12.1, 21.2 and 30.9 degrees C. For this range of temperature, N2O production could be fitted to an exponential function of incubation temperature, yielding mean (+/- standard error) activation energy of 1.42 (+/- 0.24) eV and Q(10) of 7.0 (+/- 1.4). This first quantification of denitrification enzyme activity temperature dependence in phototrophic river biofilms compares with previous studies performed in soils and sediments. This demonstrates the high temperature dependence of denitrification as compared to other community-level metabolisms such as respiration or photosynthesis. This result suggests that global warming can unbalance natural community metabolisms in phototrophic river biofilms and affect their biogeochemical budget. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
