This dataset contains data related to spatiotemporal characterization of nirK and nirS Abundance in San Francisco Bay. Data include sampling information (e.g. latitude, longitude, date, water temperature), bottom chemistry (e.g. salinity, nitrate, ammonium), sediment chemistry (e.g. porosity, total carbon, Mg, C/N), and sediment nirK and nirS gene abundance per ng DNA and per gram dry sediment.
nirK = copper-containing nitrite reductase
nirS = cytochrome-cd1 nitrite reductase
These data were published in Lee and Franics, 2017:
