Enhanced weathering (EW) of silicate rocks can remove CO2 from the atmosphere, while
potentially delivering co-benefits for agriculture (eg, reduced nitrogen losses, increased …

In bacteria, copper (Cu) is often recognised for its potential toxicity and its antibacterial
activity is now considered a key component of the mammalian innate immune system. Cu …

Nitrogen contaminants are widespread presence in municipal wastewater, heterotrophic
nitrification and aerobic denitrification (HN-AD) bacteria have advantages of dealing with …

The most efficient means of generating cellular energy is through aerobic respiration. Under
anaerobic conditions, several prokaryotes can replace oxygen by nitrate as final electron …

Inoculating agricultural soils with nitrous oxide respiring bacteria (NRB) can reduce N2O-
emission, but would be impractical as a standalone operation. Here we demonstrate that …

The metabolic activities of microbial communities play a defining role in the evolution and
persistence of life on Earth, driving redox reactions that give rise to global biogeochemical …

Soil microbes perform important functions in nitrogen and carbon cycling in the biosphere.
Microbial communities in the rhizosphere enhance plants' health and promote nutrient …

Abstract Nitrate (NO 3−)-reducing Fe (II) oxidation (NRFO) is prevalent in anoxic
environments. However, it is uncertain in which step (s) the biological Fe (II) oxidation is …

Reduction of nitrite to nitric oxide in denitrification is catalysed by two different nitrite
reductases, encoded by nirS or nirK. Long considered mutually exclusive and functionally …

Over the last century, leaps in technology for imaging, sampling, detection, high-throughput
sequencing, and-omics analyses have revolutionized microbial ecology to enable rapid …
