Urease-Encoding Genes in Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2004
ABSTRACT Many but not all ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) produce urease (urea amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.5) and are capable of using urea for chemolithotrophic growth. We sequenced the urease operons from two AOB, the β-proteobacterium Nitrosospira sp.

Transcriptomic Response of Nitrosomonas europaea Transitioned from Ammonia- to Oxygen-Limited Steady-State Growth

mSystems, 2020
Ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms perform the first step of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite. The bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea is the best-characterized ammonia oxidizer to date. Exposure to hypoxic conditions has a profound effect on

Diversity and Abundance of Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria and Archaea in a Freshwater Recirculating Aquaculture System

Hayati Journal of Biosciences, 2018
The role of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea was evaluated using amoA gene in a freshwater recirculating system. Broken earthen pot pieces (BEP) were used as filter bed material.

Novel insights into the Thaumarchaeota in the deepest oceans: their metabolism and potential adaptation mechanisms [PDF]

, 2020
Background: Marine Group I (MGI) Thaumarchaeota, which play key roles in the global biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and carbon (ammonia oxidizers), thrive in the aphotic deep sea with massive populations.

Abundance and functional importance of complete ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (comammox) versus canonical nitrifiers in temperate forest soils

, 2020
Forest disturbance increases soil nitrification rates in temperate ecosystems, but little is understood regarding contributions of newly discovered complete ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (i.e., comammox) to this important ecosystem process. We sampled soils

Comparison of Nitrogen Oxide Metabolism among Diverse Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria. [PDF]

Front Microbiol, 2016
Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) have well characterized genes that encode and express nitrite reductases (NIR) and nitric oxide reductases (NOR). However, the connection between presence or absence of these and other genes for nitrogen transformations with the physiological production of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N2O) has not been tested ...

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

Frontiers 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

Agronomy, 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 ...
