Omics-based monitoring using bacterial marker genes can provide valuable mechanistic insights into the functioning of ecosystems. Here, we present a 2.5-year dataset with monthly sampling sediment genomic DNA (n = 160) in temperate, urbanised estuary Tasmania, Australia. Molecular data were collected physical and biochemical bottom water data, organic matter metal concentrations. Our study supp...

The term 'optimum nutrition' has evolved from a perceived need to base recommendations for nutrient intakes firmly in the context of function. It follows that 'optimum nutritional status' for individual nutrients should be defined in terms of biochemical or physiological markers having some functional value but also showing an appropriate relationship to nutrient intake.
