Ammonia-oxidizing archaea use the most energy-efficient aerobic pathway for CO2 fixation

, 2014
Archaea of the phylum Thaumarchaeota are among the most abundant prokaryotes on Earth and are widely distributed in marine, terrestrial, and geothermal environments.

Benzimidazole Anthelmintic Compounds Albendazole and Fenbendazole Show Distinct Toxicity on the Nitrogen Fixing Bacterium Mesorhizobium loti and Its Symbiosis With Lotus japonicus

Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 12, Page 1658-1670, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Veterinary medicines, which reach the soil mostly through the application of contaminated manures, can affect beneficial soil microorganisms, such as nitrogen‐fixing rhizobia bacteria, which engage in important symbiotic associations with plants.

Metagenomic Evidence for the Presence of Comammox Nitrospira-Like Bacteria in a Drinking Water System

mSphere, 2016
We report metagenomic evidence for the presence of a Nitrospira-like organism with the metabolic potential to perform the complete oxidation of ammonia to nitrate (i.e., it is a complete ammonia oxidizer [comammox]) in a drinking water system.

Reusing water, reshaping nitrogen: Unravelling nitrogen dynamics in soils receiving treated wastewater

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
Abstract Soils are increasingly receiving treated wastewater (TWW) to support crop production and protect natural resources. However, besides water, various inputs, such as soil nutrients (salts), organic carbon, and various contaminants of emerging concern, including antibiotics, antibiotic resistance genes, pharmaceutical compounds, heavy metals, and

Mixed Litter Decomposition Drives Functional Gene Rearrangement in the Microbial Carbon Cycle

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 17, Page 12271-12283, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding how mixed‐species litter decomposition regulates microbial communities and carbon cycling is vital for guiding ecosystem restoration and climate change mitigation, as it is a key process for nutrient cycling and carbon sequestration. A 15‐month field experiment compared single‐species ( Pinus sylvestris var.

Cultivation of Autotrophic Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea from Marine Sediments in Coculture with Sulfur-Oxidizing Bacteria

, 2010
The role of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) in nitrogen cycling in marine sediments remains poorly characterized. In this study, we enriched and characterized AOA from marine sediments. Group I.1a crenarchaea closely related to those identified in marine

A positive relationship between the abundance of ammonia oxidizing archaea and natural abundance δ15N of ecosystems [PDF]

, 2013
We present a significant relationship between the natural abundance isotopic composition of ecosystem pools and the abundance of a microbial gene. Natural abundance 15N of soils and soil DNA were analysed and compared with archaeal ammonia oxidizer ...

Effects of dairy manure acidification on soil pH and nitrogen transformation processes in silt loam and loamy sand soils

Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
Abstract Manure acidification is increasingly recognized as an effective strategy to reduce ammonia (NH3) volatilization and curb methane (CH4) emissions. However, its implications on soil nitrogen (N) dynamics following land application in agricultural soils remain underexplored.

Influences of soil properties on archaeal diversity and distribution in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2011
The Antarctic Dry Valleys are characterized by extremely low temperatures, arid conditions, high salinity and virtual absence of plants. Therefore, food webs of these microbially dominated soils are among the simplest on earth making these mineral soils ...

Soil Microbial Communities Changes Along Depth and Contrasting Facing Slopes at the Parque Nacional La Campana, Chile

Microorganisms
The Parque Nacional La Campana (PNLC) was recently recognized for its high soil surface microbial richness. Here, we explored the microbial community structure in soil profiles from contrasting facing slopes where sclerophyllous forest (SF) and ...
