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

open access: yesmSphere, 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.

Bioaugmentation of nitrifying bacteria in up-flow biological aerated filter's microbial community for wastewater treatment and analysis of its microbial community

open access: yesScientific African, 2021
Bioaugmentation is a bioremediation approach involving the seeding of the competent microbial consortia to improve nitrogen removal from wastewater. The discharge of nitrogen-saturated wastewater into freshwater results in cultural eutrophication and ...

Smart Face Masks as Wearable Respiratory Sensors: A Review of Sensor Technologies, Materials, and Future Directions

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in smart face masks that actively monitor breathing. By integrating humidity, gas, temperature, pressure, strain, and triboelectric sensors, these masks track key respiratory parameters in real time. The article summarizes sensor mechanisms, compares performance across studies, and discusses challenges and future ...

Niche differentiation among comammox (Nitrospira inopinata) and other metabolically distinct nitrifiers

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Due to global change, increasing nutrient input to ecosystems dramatically affects the nitrogen cycle, especially the nitrification process. Nitrifiers including ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOAs), ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOBs), nitrite-oxidizing ...

Nitrification-denitrification in WSP: a mechanism for permanent nitrogen removal in maturation ponds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A pilot-scale primary maturation pond was spiked with 15N-labelled ammonia (15NH4Cl) and 15N labelled nitrite (Na15NO2), in order to improve current understanding of the dynamics of inorganic nitrogen transformations and removal in WSP systems.

Planktonic and sediment-associated aerobic methanotrophs in two seep systems along the North American margin [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Methane vents are of significant geochemical and ecological importance. Notable progress has been made towards understanding anaerobic methane oxidation in marine sediments, however, the diversity and distribution of aerobic methanotrophs in the water ...

Porosity Engineering of MXene Architectures: Toward High‐Performance Aqueous Electrochemical Energy Storage

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review systematically summarizes recent advances in porosity engineering of MXenes, with a focused discussion on their structure‐governed energy storage properties. A critical analysis of structure–property relationships is presented across alkali‐ion batteries, multivalent‐ion batteries, and supercapacitors.

A mathematical model of bacteria capable of complete oxidation of ammonium predicts improved nitrogen removal and reduced production of nitrous oxide [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The removal of excess nutrients from water ecosystems requires oxidation of toxic ammonium by two types of bacteria; one oxidizes ammonium to nitrite and the other oxidizes nitrite to nitrate.
