Seasonal distribution and activity of nitrogen-cycling bacteria in Bardawil Lagoon, Egypt

Abstract: The ecological significance of Bardawil Lagoon, the only oligotrophic hypersaline lagoon on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, was assessed through studying counts, activities and the distribution of nitrogen-cycling bacteria. Counts and activities of ammonifying bacteria, ammonium-oxidising microbes (AOM) and nitrite-oxidising bacteria (NOB) were compared between sites colonised by macrophytes and bare sites. Microbial counts and activities, and the concentrations of both organic and inorganic nitrogen compoun… Show more

“…The "rhizosphere effect" can lead to greatly variations in compositions and diversities of rhizosphere and nonrhizosphere sediment bacteria, where the impacts were influenced by seasons (Dewedar et al, 2009), soil types (Zhao et al, 2017), and plant species (Yin et al, 2018). The OTU numbers in the rhizosphere sediments of five microcosms were all higher than those of their counterparts in the non-rhizosphere, suggesting the presence of more bacteria and more complex microbial communities in the rhizosphere sediments.…”

“…The microbial community in the plant rhizospheres can vary with the plant species, seasons and waterbody or soil types (Dewedar et al, 2009;Herrmann et al, 2009;Hou et al, 2015;Yin et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2017). There are some studies showing that root exudates could inhibit the activities of microorganisms.…”
