Nitrogen removal in a two-chambered microbial fuel cell: Establishment of a nitrifying-denitrifying microbial community on an intermittent aerated cathode [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A microbial fuel cell (MFC) was used to study nitrogen dynamics and its feasibility for high strength wastewater treatment. Intermittent aeration was applied on the cathode chamber accomplishing the establishment of a simultaneous nitrifying-denitrifying

Nitrifier Gene Abundance and Diversity in Sediments Impacted by Acid Mine Drainage

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Extremely acidic and metal-rich acid mine drainage (AMD) waters can have severe toxicological effects on aquatic ecosystems. AMD has been shown to completely halt nitrification, which plays an important role in transferring nitrogen to higher organisms ...

Ensambles de arqueas y bacterias en la Zona de Mínimo Oxígeno del ecosistema de surgencia de Chile central determinados mediante biomarcadores orgánicos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Indexación: Web of Science; Scielo.Organic biomarkers were used to investigate the influence of seasonal changes in oxygenation and water chemistry on the distribution of archaea and bacteria in the water column and surface sediments of the continental ...

Abundance and Community Composition of Ammonia-Oxidizers in Paddy Soil at Different Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2014
Ammonia oxidation, the first and rate-limiting step of nitrification, is carried out by both ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA).

Response of Nitrification and Crop Yield to the Presence of NBPT and DCD in a Wheat-Corn Double Cropping System

open access: yesAgronomy
The excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer aggravated the loss of nitrogen in farmland and exerted detrimental effects on the soil and water environment. Examining the effects of N-(n-Butyl)thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) and nitrification inhibitor

Phylogenetic and functional marker genes to study ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOM) in the environment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The oxidation of ammonia plays a significant role in the transformation of fixed nitrogen in the global nitrogen cycle. Autotrophic ammonia oxidation is known in three groups of microorganisms.

Autotrophic growth of bacterial and archaeal ammonia oxidizers in freshwater sediment microcosms incubated at different temperatures

open access: yes, 2013
Both bacteria and archaea potentially contribute to ammonia oxidation, but their roles in freshwater sediments are still poorly understood. Seasonal differences in the relative activities of these groups might exist, since cultivated archaeal ammonia ...

Molecular ecology of ammonia oxidizing archaea and bacteria

open access: yes, 2015
The newly recognized ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) makes re-evaluation of the contribution to ammonia oxidization by both AOA and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) necessary and meaningful. The growing population and increasing anthropogenic activities around coastlines have affected wetland and coastal marine ecosystems through discharging polluted ...

Comammox Nitrospira abundance and contribution to nitrification in a forested landscape

open access: yesEcosphere
Nitrification in terrestrial ecosystems is mediated by NH4+‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA). Presently, we understand relatively little about how physiological capacities and environmental tolerances influence their community composition, and ...

The hidden potential of archaea in carbon and nitrogen cycling in agricultural soils: a review

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology
The soil microbiome drives soil nutrient cycling and is intrinsically linked to plant productivity in agriculture. Archaea are members of many soil microbiomes and play important roles in nutrient cycling, particularly in the carbon and nitrogen cycle ...
