Principles for Rigorous Design and Application of Synthetic Microbial Communities

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.
SynComs are artificially designed to enable inter‐species metabolic interactions, metabolic division of labor, and ecological interactions that can elicit phenotypes like colonization stability and environmental adaptation. This systematic review explores the processes used to construct SynComs, the assessment of the mechanisms of metabolic interaction

Spatial and Temporal Variability of Microbial Nitrogen Cycling Genes in Arctic Streams

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid climate change, with thawing permafrost and shifts in vegetation altering nitrogen (N) delivery into streams. These changes can significantly affect microbial biofilm diversity and functional roles, yet knowledge of streambed microbial biofilms remains scarce across the Arctic.

Evolutionary Ecology of Natural Comammox Nitrospira Populations

mSystems, 2022
Microbes commonly exist in diverse and complex communities where species interact, and their genomic repertoires evolve over time. Our understanding of species interaction and evolution has increased during the last decades, but most studies of ...

Plant Identity Impacts the Soil Microbiome More Than Interspecific Interactions in Intensively Managed Grasslands

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 1, January–February 2026.
The impact of plant identity and interspecific interactions on the soil microbiome in intensively managaged grasslands. ABSTRACT Plants and soil microbes are intricately linked, and agricultural production relies heavily on microbially mediated ecosystem services. However, the effects of plant diversity (richness, relative abundance and composition) on

Soil pH modulates microbial nitrogen allocation in soil via compositional and metabolic shifts across forests in Japan

iMetaOmics, Volume 2, Issue 4, December 2025.
This study reveals how soil pH regulates microbial N allocation in forest soils across Japan. We show that microbial abundance controls the overall rate of N cycling, while microbial composition and metabolic potential determine whether ammonium is released or retained.

Genomic and Physiological Characteristics of a Novel Nitrite-Oxidizing Nitrospira Strain Isolated From a Drinking Water Treatment Plant

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) catalyze the second step of nitrification, which is an important process of the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle and is exploited extensively as a biological nitrogen removal process.

Evaluating Performance of Bouteloua gracilis Cultivars After Drought: The Role of the Soil Microbiome

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 80, Issue 4, December 2025.
ABSTRACT After the Dust Bowl in the 1930s, it was common to reseed native grasses in areas impacted by the drought to help restore grassland ecosystem structure and function. Given the forecasts of intensified drought events, reseeding may need to be employed more frequently to enhance post‐drought recovery. For such reseeding efforts, it is imperative

Heterotrophic ammonia oxidation by Alcaligenes balances ROS generation and terminal electron transport

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 527-538, October 2025.
Abstract Heterotrophic nitrifiers are bacteria that aerobically oxidize ammonia in the presence of organic carbon sources, which differs from autotrophic nitrifiers that extract energy from ammonia oxidation for cell metabolism and growth. The physiological significance of heterotrophic ammonia oxidation remains unclear, even though this process has ...

Genome-Enabled Insights into the Ecophysiology of the Comammox Bacterium “Candidatus Nitrospira nitrosa”

mSystems, 2017
The recently discovered comammox bacteria have the potential to completely oxidize ammonia to nitrate. These microorganisms are part of the Nitrospira genus and are present in a variety of environments, including biological nutrient removal (BNR) systems.

Substrate Effect on the Contribution of Ammonium and Urea to Marine Nitrification and Nitrous Oxide Production

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2025.
The urea to ammonium concentration ratio is a good predictor of the relative importance of urea and ammonium to nitrite and N2O production in the ocean. In addition, the urea to ammonium ratio may be a key factor in shaping the genetic capability of marine ammonia‐oxidising archaea for urea utilisation.
