N2 - We present a psychotropic bacteria–based biosensor that can be used in low–temperature seawater for theanalysis of nitrate + nitrite (NOx–). The sensor can be used to resolve concentrations below 1 µmol L–1 at lowtemperature (<2.5°C) and high salinity (35‰), and in situ use in the deep sea was demonstrated by measuringNOx– profiles in sediment at 1500 m depth, where the temperature was 2.5°C. Analysis of marine sediment at70 m depth showed very heterogeneous NOx– profiles, most of which exhibited pronounced maxima due tonitrification in the oxic surface layer. At this shallow water site, the in situ profiles were similar to profiles measuredin the laboratory, but generally laboratory profiles appeared more uniform, presumably as a result ofreduced fauna activity and disturbance of the microstructure of the sediment surface during core recovery.
