LIVE IMAGING OF DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESSES IN A LIVING MERISTEM OF DAVIDIA INVOLUCRATA (NYSSACEAE)




A doubling of microphytobenthos biomass coincides with a tenfold increase in denitrifier and total bacterial abundances in intertidal sediments of a temperate estuary.

Surface sediments are important systems for the removal of anthropogenically derived inorganic nitrogen in estuaries.They are often characterized by the presence of a microphytobenthos (MPB) biofilm, which can impact bacterial communities in underlying sediments for example by secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and competition fo
