Funded Activity Summary
Do cable bacteria reduce nitrogen removal in seasonally anoxic estuaries? The discovery of 'cable bacteria', which can couple redox half reactions centimetres distant from one another by transporting electrons along their filaments, has fundamentally changed the way we view sediment biogeochemistry. This project will investigate the interaction between 'cable bacteria' and enhanced nitrogen recycling in seasonally anoxic estuaries. This project will help improve understanding of how nitrogen is retained in seasonally anoxic estuaries which is essential to combatting the problem of eutrophication. In addition the fundamental new understanding of the ecology and biogeochemical processes mediated by 'cable bacteria', may lead to future applications in waste water treatment.Funded Activity Details
