Phanerozoic radiation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 The modern nitrogen cycle consists of a web of microbially mediated redox transformations. Among the most crucial reactions in this cycle is the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite, an obligately aerobic process performed by a limited number of lineages of ...

Role of Nitric Oxide in Hydroxylamine Oxidation by Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2023 Ammonia oxidation by chemolithoautotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) is thought to contribute significantly to global nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions and leaching of oxidized nitrogen, particularly through their activity in nitrogen (N)-fertilized agricultural production systems.

Biogeography of anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria are able to oxidize ammonia and reduce nitrite to produce N2 gas. After being discovered in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), anammox bacteria were subsequently characterized in natural environments ...

Selective Enrichment of Nitrososphaera viennensis-Like Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea over Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria from Drinking Water Biofilms [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) can oxidize ammonia to nitrite for energy gain. They have been detected in chloraminated drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) along with the more common ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria

Dating Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria with Abundant Eukaryotic Fossils. [PDF]
Mol Biol EvolAbstract Evolution of a complete nitrogen cycle relies on the onset of ammonia oxidation, which aerobically converts ammonia to nitrogen oxides. However, accurate estimation of the antiquity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) remains challenging because AOB-specific fossils are absent and bacterial fossils amenable to calibrate ...

Ammonia oxidizers offset acidification stress via adaptive substrate affinity in aquatic ecosystems [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsAmmonia oxidation, a critical nitrogen cycle process, exhibits contradictory responses to aquatic acidification, and the underlying mechanism remains unresolved. Here, through pH manipulation experiments across diverse ecosystems and with a model ammonia-

A review of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea in Chinese soils
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Ammonia (NH3) oxidation, the first and rate-limiting step of nitrification, is a key step in the global Nitrogen (N) cycle. Major advances have been made in recent years in our knowledge and understanding of the microbial communities involved ammonia ...

Characterization of a long overlooked copper protein from methane- and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Methane- and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria use the integral membrane, copper-dependent enzymes particulate methane monooxygenase (pMMO) and ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) to oxidize methane and ammonia.

Comparison of enumeration methods for ammonia-oxidizing bacteria
Water Science and Technology, 2001 MPN, antibody, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and dot blot hybridization methods for enumeration of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria were applied to various samples from suspended systems. As for FISH, reoptimization of an oligonucleotide probe Nso190 was attempted. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods were discussed.
