N1 - The influence of oysters on nitrogen (N) cycling has received increased research attention. Previous work focused on fluxes of N solutes and gases, but the effects on microbes responsible for N transformations are unknown. In May 2010, we deployed eastern oysters ( Crassostrea virginica) in mesh cages above sand-filled boxes at four sites across a nutrient gradient in Jamaica Bay, New York City.
