Microbial oceanography of anoxic oxygen minimum zones

O Ulloa, DE Canfield, EF DeLong, RM Letelier… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - pnas.org
Vast expanses of oxygen-deficient and nitrite-rich water define the major oxygen minimum

Nitric oxide and nitrous oxide turnover in natural and engineered microbial communities: biological pathways, chemical reactions, and novel technologies

F Schreiber, P Wunderlin, KM Udert… - Frontiers in …, 2012 - frontiersin.org
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an environmentally important atmospheric trace gas because it is an
effective greenhouse gas and it leads to ozone depletion through photo-chemical nitric …

Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) in the modern ocean

A Paulmier, D Ruiz-Pino - Progress in oceanography, 2009 - Elsevier
In the modern ocean, oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) are potential traces of a primitive
ocean in which Archean bacteria lived and reduced chemical anomalies occurred. But …

Marine hypoxia/anoxia as a source of CH4 and N2O

SWA Naqvi, HW Bange, L Farías, PMS Monteiro… - …, 2010 - bg.copernicus.org
We review here the available information on methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) from
major marine, mostly coastal, oxygen (O 2)-deficient zones formed both naturally and as a …

Microbial metatranscriptomics in a permanent marine oxygen minimum zone

FJ Stewart, O Ulloa, EF DeLong - Environmental microbiology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Simultaneous characterization of taxonomic composition, metabolic gene content and gene
expression in marine oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) has potential to broaden perspectives …

Anammox and denitrification in the oxygen minimum zone of the eastern South Pacific

T Dalsgaard, B Thamdrup, L Farías… - Limnology and …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
We quantified the removal of fixed nitrogen as N2 production by anammox and N2 and N2O
production by denitrification over a distance of 1900 km along the coasts of Chile and Peru …

The Humboldt Current System: Ecosystem components and processes, fisheries, and sediment studies

V Montecino, CB Lange - Progress in Oceanography, 2009 - Elsevier
In the Humboldt Current System (HCS), biological and non-biological components,
ecosystem processes, and fisheries are known to be affected by multi-decadal, inter-annual …

Nitrogen fixation in denitrified marine waters

C Fernandez, L Farías, O Ulloa - PloS one, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Nitrogen fixation is an essential process that biologically transforms atmospheric dinitrogen
gas to ammonia, therefore compensating for nitrogen losses occurring via denitrification and …

We use transient time distributions calculated from tracer data together with in situ
measurements of nitrous oxide (N2O) to estimate the concentration of biologically produced …

Acoustic observation of living organisms reveals the upper limit of the oxygen minimum zone

A Bertrand, M Ballon, A Chaigneau - PLoS one, 2010 - journals.plos.org
Background Oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) are expanding in the World Ocean as a result
of climate change and direct anthropogenic influence. OMZ expansion greatly affects …
