“…Ammonia oxidation was detected only at 100 m or shallower, with maximum rates at 85 m (0.92 nM N d − 1 ), the shallowest and most oxygenated of the depths where rates were measured (Figure 1e). These rates are at the lower end of those previously observed in the Gulf of California and ETNP (0-348 nM d − 1 ; Beman et al, 2012) and in the ETSP OMZ (0.2-89 nM d − 1 ; Kalvelage et al, 2013). Nitrite oxidation was detected at all depths except 125 m, at rates (13-261 nM d − 1 ; Figure 1e) up to an order of magnitude higher than those for other processes, with rates peaking in the secondary chlorophyll maximum, suggesting a decoupling between ammonia and nitrite oxidation.…”

“…Surveys combining marker gene counts and rate measurements have suggested mesoscale patterns in N cycling along coastal to offshore gradients in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific (ETSP) OMZ off Chile and Peru (Kalvelage et al, 2013), as well as clear depthspecific variation in N cycle genes, transcripts, and rates (Thamdrup et al, 2006;Dalsgaard et al, 2012;Stewart et al, 2012). Recently, analysis of microbial metagenomes in the ETSP OMZ also identified a non-uniform distribution of N cycle genes among filter size fractions (Ganesh et al, 2014).…”

“…Almost all of the N loss from the water column in the Eastern Tropical South Pacific occurs by anammox rather than heterotrophic denitrification (Hamersley et al, 2007;Kalvelage et al, 2013). Mass balance calculations suggest that around 40% of the N loss takes place within the coastal OMZ where water depths are <600 m .…”

“…AOB have been suggested to be sensitive to various soil perturbations (Bissett et al, 2013), while AOA seems to be insusceptible to environmental changes due to strongly rigid cell membranes and other cellular macromolecules (Cray et al, 2013). For example, previous studies have indicated the positive effects of organic matter on function and community of ammonia-oxidizers attributing that organic matter provides more available ammonium during degradation (He et al, 2007;Kalvelage et al, 2013). In addition, it has been reported that Hg pollution influenced on AOB activity and community composition based on a short-term microcosm experiment (Liu et al, 2010).…”
