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 ...

Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilization Reshapes the Abundance and Structure of Ammonia Oxidizers on a Leymus chinensis Steppe in Northern China

open access: yesAgronomy, 2022
Although nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilization are important for maintaining the health and productivity of Leymus chinensis steppe, their impact on the abundance and community structure of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ammonia-oxidizing ...

The contribution of ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria to gross nitrification under different substrate availability

open access: yes, 2021
The first step of autotrophic nitrification is performed by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB). Recent studies show that their relative contributions are determined by the substrate sources and availability, yet evidence provided by ...

Nitric oxide scavengers differentially inhibit ammonia oxidation in ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2016
Differential inhibitors are important for measuring the relative contributions of microbial groups, such as ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), to biogeochemical processes in environmental samples. In particular, 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide (PTIO) represents a nitric oxide scavenger used for ...

Low yield and abiotic origin of N2O formed by the complete nitrifier Nitrospira inopinata

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea are major producers of the gases nitrous oxide and nitric oxide. Here, Kits et al. show that a complete ammonia-oxidizing (comammox) bacterium emits nitrous oxide at levels that are comparable to those produced by ...

Responses of Ammonia-Oxidizing Microorganisms to Intercropping Systems in Different Seasons

open access: yesAgriculture, 2021
Intercropping plays an essential role in agricultural production, impacting the soil’s physical and chemical properties and microbial communities. However, the responses of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms in the continuous-cropping soil to different ...

Activity enhancement of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria in activated sludge process: metabolite reduction and CO2 mitigation intensification process

open access: yesApplied Water Science, 2019
The interaction of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) is of considerable importance in nitrification process. Ecophysiological interactions between the communities of AOB and NOB were investigated by monitoring NO2− as ...

Changes in the Species and Functional Composition of Activated Sludge Communities Revealed Mechanisms of Partial Nitrification Established by Ultrasonication

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
To achieve energy-efficient shortcut nitrogen removal of wastewater in the future, selective elimination of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) while enriching ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms is a crucial step. However, the underlying mechanisms of partial

Freshwater Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea Retain amoA mRNA and 16S rRNA during Ammonia Starvation

open access: yesLife, 2015
In their natural habitats, microorganisms are often exposed to periods of starvation if their substrates for energy generation or other nutrients are limiting.

Comparison of the Total, Diazotrophic and Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacterial Communities Between Under Organic and Conventional Greenhouse Farming

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Organic greenhouse farming is an innovative system that may maintain a high yield and healthy agroecosystem. There have been no rigorous studies on the comparison of total and nitrogen-cycling bacterial community in vegetable soils between organic and ...
