Structure of denitrifying communities reducing N2O at suboxic waters off northern Chile and Perú

The nosZ gene, which encodes for N2O reduction to N2, was used to study the structure of denitrifying communities in the oxygen minimum zone off Chilean and Peruvian coast throughout terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP) and cloning of nosZ genes. TRFLP analysis showed little div...
