A doubling of microphytobenthos biomass coincides with a tenfold increase in denitrifier and total bacterial abundances in intertidal sediments of a temperate estuary.
Surface sediments are important systems for the removal of anthropogenically derived inorganic nitrogen in estuaries.They are often characterized by the presence of a microphytobenthos (MPB) biofilm, which mega nutella pot can impact bacterial communities in underlying sediments for example by secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) a
