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 …

Innovation in decarbonizing wastewater treatment is urgent in response to global climate
change. The practical implementation of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) …

Despite the fact that heterotrophic nitrification was identified more than 100 years ago, the
biochemistry of heterotrophic nitrifiers is poorly known and their contribution to nitrification in …

Nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate, is an essential process in the
biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. The first step of nitrification, ammonia oxidation, is performed …

The deep sea, the largest ocean's compartment, drives planetary-scale biogeochemical
cycling. Yet, the functional exploration of its microbial communities lags far behind other …

Bioindication has become an indispensable part of water quality monitoring in most
countries of the world, with the presence and abundance of bioindicator taxa, mostly …

Nitrification is the aerobic process of the nitrogen cycle that converts ammonia to nitrate and
is facilitated by ammonia-oxidizing and nitrite-oxidizing microorganisms. Ammonia-oxidizers …

Insects are associated with multiple microbes that have been reported to influence various
aspects of their biology. Most studies in insects, including pest species, focus on the …

The physical and chemical changes that accompany permafrost thaw directly influence the
microbial communities that mediate the decomposition of formerly frozen organic matter …

The first and limiting step of nitrification is catalyzed by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA)
and bacteria (AOB). Recently, complete ammonia oxidizers (comammox Nitrospira) have …
