The overlooked NO3−-N reducing pathways in biofilters of marine recirculating aquaculture system (RAS): Insights from metagenomics and 15N - membrane inlet mass spectrometry
Key Points
Key findings highlight the significance of overlooked nitrate reducing pathways in RAS biofilters, which may improve nitrogen cycling.
The study shows that utilizing 15N-membrane inlet mass spectrometry effectively identifies nitrate reductase activity in microbial communities.
Metagenomics analysis reveals diverse microbial populations in biofilters that contribute to nitrate reduction processes.
Insights from this work emphasize the need for enhanced nitrogen management strategies in marine recirculating aquaculture.
