Adaptive Responses of Salinity-Acclimated Heterotrophic Bacterial Communities to Stepwise Cooling: Implications for Ammonium Assimilation Potential
The adaptive responses of salinity-acclimated heterotrophic bacterial communities with ammonium assimilation potential to prolonged cooling remain poorly understood. In this study, three sequencing batch reactors (SBRs) with salinities of 25 (R1), 50 (R2), and 100 g/L (R3) NaCl were operated continuously for 283 days a...
