Other claims from this paper (8)
- Mechanism Glyceria maxima suppressed potential nitrifying activities through ammonium uptake.
- Intervention effect Longer day length with Glyceria maxima increased P. chlororaphis numbers.
- Observation P. chlororaphis suppressed N. winogradskyi growth.
- Observation P. chlororaphis did not significantly affect N. europaea growth or potential nitrifying activities.
- Observation The plant stimulated potential denitrifying activities.
- Association Potential denitrifying activities showed no correlation with nitrifier activity or numbers.
- Mechanism Ammonium rather than oxygen appeared limiting for nitrification in the Glyceria maxima root zone.
- Mechanism Without plant ammonium depletion, P. chlororaphis could repress nitrifiers.
