Genome-centered metagenomics illuminates adaptations of core members to a partial Nitritation–Anammox bioreactor under periodic microaeration

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The partial nitritation-anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox; PN-A) process has been considered a sustainable method for wastewater ammonium removal, with recent attempts to treat low-strength wastewater.

Unveiling Global Diversity of Patescibacteriota and Functional Interactions with Host Microbes

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, 23 February 2026.
Patescibacteriota represents a diverse group of ultra‐small epibiotic bacteria, which is largely overlooked. By integrating ribosomal protein S3‐based community profiling with MAG‐based metabolic potential analyses, this study provides new insights into their distribution, diversity, and potential interactions with other bacteria across diverse ...

It Takes a Village: Discovering and Isolating the Nitrifiers

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
It has been almost 150 years since Jean-Jacques Schloesing and Achille Müntz discovered that the process of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonium to nitrate, is a biological process carried out by microorganisms.

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.

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

Impact of comammox process on membrane-aerated biofilm reactor for autotrophic nitrogen removal

Water Research X
This study compared the simulation results of the side-stream membrane-aerated biofilm reactor (MABR) in terms of total nitrogen (TN) removal and N2O production obtained by the conventional comammox-exclusive biological nitrogen removal (BNR) model and ...

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.

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

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.
