qPCR Target Information
Nitrate reductase (napA) is a key denitrifying enzyme produced by heterotrophic denitrifying bacteria that catalyses the reduction of nitrate to nitrite. The napA gene serves as a reliable molecular target for quantifying the abundance of functional denitrifiers in environmental samples, helping assess the capacity and activity of denitrifying microbial communities relevant to bioremediation
