Quantification of functional genes involved in nitrogen (N) transformation improves our
understanding of N-cycling microbial population responses to environmental disturbance …

Studies based on protein-coding genes are essential to describe the diversity within
bacterial functional groups. In the case of aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic (AAP) bacteria …

The versatile soil bacterium Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans lacks the hallmark
denitrification genes nirS and nirK (encoding NO2−→ NO reductases) and couples growth to …

Tropical peatlands, which play a crucial role in the maintenance of different ecosystem
services, are increasingly drained for agriculture, forestry, peat extraction and human …

Biochar has been demonstrated to reduce nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions from soils, but its
effect is highly soil-dependent. In particular, in soils with strong nitrification potential, biochar …

The relative contribution of fungi, bacteria, and nirS and nirK denirifiers to nitrous oxide
(N2O) emission with unknown isotopic signature from dairy manure compost was examined …

Microbial populations provide nitrogen cycling ecosystem services at the nexus of
agriculture, environmental quality and climate change. Denitrification, in particular, impacts …

This study evaluated the impacts of a nitrification inhibitor (3, 4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate,
DMPP) and herbicides (atrazine and glyphosate) on nitrification, gross nitrite, and nitrate …

The two evolutionarily unrelated nitric oxide-producing nitrite reductases, NirK and NirS, are
best known for their redundant role in denitrification. They are also often found in organisms …

Denitrification may potentially alleviate excess nitrogen (N) availability in coral holobionts to
maintain a favourable N to phosphorous ratio in the coral tissue. However, little is known …
