Our study shows that nitrate concentrations in both groundwater and surface water decreased during a 3‐year drought at the mesoscale river basin level, especially in agricultural regions with anthropogenic nitrate sources. This decline is due to temporary retention and dilution in the soil zone rather than denitrification, as suggested by the stable ...

Aside from two samples collected nearly 50 years ago, little is known about the microbial composition of wind tidal flats in the hypersaline Laguna Madre, Texas. These mats account for ~42% of the lagoon’s area.

Abstract Injecting biostimulatory solutions around underground storage tanks (UGSTs) promotes petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) bioremediation without the use of intrusive infrastructure. Yet, it is unclear how the interaction between porous bedding material (i.e., pea gravel) and biostimulatory solutions impacts PHC biodegradation rates.

Regulation-Structured Dynamic Metabolic Model Provides a Potential Mechanism for Delayed Enzyme Response in Denitrification Process [PDF]
In a recent study of denitrification dynamics in hyporheic zone sediments, we observed a significant time lag (up to several days) in enzymatic response to the changes in substrate concentration.

Analysis of nifH-RNA reveals phylotypes related to Geobacter and Cyanobacteria as important functional components of the N2-fixing community depending on depth and agricultural use of soil [PDF]
In this survey, a total of 80 787 reads and 28 171 unique NifH protein sequences were retrieved from soil RNA. This dataset extends our knowledge about the structure and diversity of the functional diazotrophic communities in agricultural soils from ...

Dissolved and Particulate Methylated Mercury in a Highly Productive Area of the Southern Ocean
Abstract Methylated mercury (MeHg), including dimethylmercury and monomethylmercury (MMHg), is a pollutant of concern because it biomagnifies in marine biota. The formation of MeHg in the oceans, specifically at highly productive regions and at high oxygen levels, remains elusive.

Hypotheses for near-surface exchange of methane on Mars [PDF]
The Curiosity rover recently detected a background of 0.7 ppb and spikes of 7 ppb of methane on Mars. This in situ measurement reorients our understanding of the Martian environment and its potential for life, as the current theories do not entail any ...

Optofluidic Single-Cell Genome Amplification of Sub-micron Bacteria in the Ocean Subsurface
Optofluidic single-cell genome amplification was used to obtain genome sequences from sub-micron cells collected from the euphotic and mesopelagic zones of the northwestern Sargasso Sea.
