phoD alkaline phosphatase genes and transcripts were studied at different pH levels and P fertilization intensities in a lowland grassland. phoD alkaline phosphatase in grassland

We assessed the effects of soil pH and P fertilization on the phoD gene and transcript in a long-term grassland trial characterized by a natural pH gradient and identified the key bacteria that express and carry the phoD alkaline phosphatase gene using 454-sequencing.
