Oysters found to help restore balance to aquatic ecosystems by removing pollution

Researchers at William & Mary’s Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) have determined the role of oysters in reducing nutrient pollution through inference of the denitrification potential of microbiomes in the gut and shell of eastern oysters. The study is the first to identify and quantify the potential denitrifying nature of bacteria in oysters using a new computer program that […]
