4.4.3.1. Denitrification
In our analysis, the CAB of Temora spp. followed byPleuromamma spp. were found to have a high proportion of napA and
napB genes (Figure S4), whereas the abundance of napA and narG genes
were reported in the North Atlantic copepods contributed byCalanus sp. and Paraeuchaeate sp.[9]. However, in the present analysis, the CAB ofTemora spp. was found to have a high proportion of narG (Figure
S4). Bacterial genera like PseudoalteromonasActinobacterium and Shewanella, also the nirS gene were
reported in live and dead Calanus finmarchicus[14]. Likewise, from our analysis, bothPseudoalteromonas and Actinobacterium were found inCalanus spp. Also, metagenome analysis of copepod associated
microbial community was reported to have genes responsible for
denitrification and DNRA [9].
