What is it about?
The study demonstrate that the nosZ-type denitrifying community present in this tropical hydroelectric, is diverse and rich and that its composition (OTUs and phylotypes) varies spatially in relationship with environmental factors such as oxygen and pH.

Why is it important?
This research is the first study developed in this hydroelectric about of diversity of microbial communities related with the N cycle and is the base for future studies about of the importance of denitrifyings communities in the cycling of nitrous oxide from this dam that will permit to determine if this reservoir is a source or sink of this greenhouse gas.
