(A) Anaerobic nitrogen dissimilation under (left) organoheterotrophic conditions (500 μM 15NO3, 250 μM acetate, and 250 μM formate, anoxic) and (right) without the addition of electron donor (200 μM 15NO2, anoxic). See the main text for more details. Error bars indicate SD of three biological replicates. (B) FISH-SIMS analyses of single Nitrococcus cells in Namibian OMZ bottom water samples (1.20 m above seafloor), incubated with (top) 13C-labeled dissolved organic matter (DOM) or (bottom) 13C-labeled bicarbonate under hypoxic conditions. Left: Nitrococcus cells (green) targeted by CARD-FISH among other microbial cells (blue). Middle: 32S/12C of the corresponding cells. Right: 13C/12C ratio. Scale bars, 1 μm.
