Microbial biofilms have caused serious concerns in healthcare, medical, and food industries
because of their intrinsic resistance against conventional antibiotics and cleaning …

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 …

The interaction of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) is
of considerable importance in nitrification process. Ecophysiological interactions between …

Biofilms have several characteristics that ensure their survival in a range of adverse
environmental conditions, including high cell numbers, close cell proximity to allow easy …

Biofilms contain bacterial cells that are in a wide range of physiological states. Within a
biofilm population, cells with diverse genotypes and phenotypes that express distinct …

Much of what makes life in a microbial biofilm different from life in a free aqueous
suspension can be explained by invoking the phenomenon of diffusion. This article …

▪ Abstract The eutrophication of many ecosystems in recent decades has led to an increased
interest in the ecology of nitrogen transformation. Chemolitho-autotrophic ammonia …

Electroactive biofilms (EABFs) generated by electrochemically active microorganisms have
many potential applications in bioenergy and chemicals production. Biofilm electroactivity …

This review summarizes the microbial mechanisms responsible for removal of carbon,
nitrogen, and sulfur compounds in treatment wetlands (TWs) and identifies, categorizes and …

From recent research it has become clear that at least two different possibilities for
anaerobic ammonium oxidation exist in nature.'Aerobic'ammonium oxidizers like …
