Human civilization relies on estuaries, and many estuarine ecosystem services are provided
by microbial communities. These services include high rates of primary production that …

Nitrogen (N) is a key element for life in the oceans. It controls primary productivity in many
parts of the global ocean, consequently playing a crucial role in the uptake of atmospheric …

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are now implicated in exerting significant control over the
form and availability of reactive nitrogen species in marine environments. Detailed studies of …

The present study explored treatment performance and nitrogen removal mechanisms of a
novel tidal flow constructed wetland (TF CW) under C/N ratios ranging from two to 12. High …

For more than 100 years it was believed that bacteria were the only group responsible for
the oxidation of ammonia. However, recently, a new strain of archaea bearing a putative …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation coupled with nitrite reduction is an important microbial
pathway of nitrogen removal in intertidal wetlands. However, little is known about the role of …

Ammonia oxidation carried out by ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOMs) is a central
step in the global nitrogen cycle. Aerobic AOMs comprise conventional ammonia-oxidizing …

It was hypothesized that seasonality and resource availability altered through tree girdling
were major determinants of the phylogenetic composition of the archaeal and bacterial …

A combination of stable isotope and molecular biological approaches was used to
determine the activity, abundance and diversity of nitrifying organisms in the central …

Ammonia oxidation in marine and estuarine sediments plays a pivotal role in the cycling and
removal of nitrogen. Recent reports have shown that the newly discovered ammonia …
