Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes significantly to climate change and is
primarily regulated in Nature by methanotrophic bacteria, which consume methane gas as …

Compared to bacteria, our knowledge of archaeal biology is limited. Historically,
microbiologists have mostly relied on culturing and single-gene diversity surveys to …

Microbiome differential abundance analysis methods for two groups are well-established in
the literature. However, many microbiome studies involve more than two groups, sometimes …

BACKGROUND The invention of the Haber-Bosch (HB) process in the early 1900s to
produce ammonia industrially from nitrogen and hydrogen revolutionized the manufacture of …

Ammonia oxidising archaea are among the most abundant living organisms on Earth and
key microbial players in the global nitrogen cycle. They carry out oxidation of ammonia to …

Oxidation of ammonia to nitrite by bacteria and archaea is responsible for global emissions
of nitrous oxide directly and indirectly through provision of nitrite and, after further oxidation …

Woese and Fox's 1977 paper on the discovery of the Archaea triggered a revolution in the
field of evolutionary biology by showing that life was divided into not only prokaryotes and …

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are one of the most abundant groups of microbes in the
world's oceans and are key players in the nitrogen cycle. Their energy metabolism—the …

Highlights•Nitrification causes nitrogen losses with impact on crop yield and
environment.•Newly discovered microbes can be important for nitrification in agricultural …

Aerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria were first isolated more than 100 years ago and
hydroxylamine is known to be an intermediate. The enzymatic steps involving …
