Spatiotemporal and temperature-dependent disconnect between ammonia oxidation and dark DIC fixation in deep oligotrophic Lake Constance Abstract. Deep oligotrophic lakes hold over 80% of global lake water. In their hypolimnion, ammonia oxidation (the first step of nitrification) and non-pho

Interested in #nitrification? Check-out this new paper driven by the #MichaelPester group focussing on nitrification-driven chemolithoautotrophy in oligotrophic lake hypolimnia. Freshwater AOA contribute only a minor part to dark DIC fixation in these systems.
