Understanding structure/function relationships in nitrifying microbial communities after cross-transfer between freshwater and seawater

Abstract In this study, nitrification before and after abrupt cross-transfer in salinity was investigated in two moving bed biofilm reactors inoculated with nitrifying cultures that had adaptation to freshwater (FR) and seawater salinities (SR). FR and SR MBRRs were exposed to short and long term cr...
