The control of nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions through nitrification and the optimization of maize yield are important in agricultural systems. However, within the semi-arid region, the impact of fertilization on the function of nitrification communities ...

Cyclic Conversions in the Nitrogen Cycle
The cyclic nature of specific conversions in the nitrogen cycle imposes strict limitations to the conversions observed in nature and explains for example why anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) bacteria can only use nitrite – and not nitrate – as ...

Flow-cytometric quantification of microbial cells on sand from water biofilters [PDF]
Rapid quantification of absolute microbial cell abundances is important for a comprehensive interpretation of microbiome surveys and crucial to support theoretical modelling and the design of engineered systems.

Comammox Nitrospira within the Yangtze River continuum: community, biogeography, and ecological drivers [PDF]
Abstract The recent discovery of comammox Nitrospira as complete nitrifiers has fundamentally renewed perceptions of nitrogen cycling in natural and engineered systems, yet little is known about the environmental controls on these newly recognized bacteria.

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB), nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB), and complete ammonia oxidizers (comammox) are responsible for nitrification in nature; however, some groups have been reported to utilize labile-dissolved organic ...

ABSTRACT Reactive nitrogen losses from agriculture contribute substantially to greenhouse gas emissions, water pollution and ecosystem degradation. Controlled‐release fertiliser technologies offer potential solutions, yet few comprehensively evaluate performance across multiple nitrogen loss pathways and soil types.

Hydrological and microbial dynamics in an Arctic wastewater infiltration system
Abstract Passive wastewater treatment systems are widely used in the Arctic, but studies addressing the vadose zone dynamics that influence the operation and performance of subsurface or soil‐based infiltration systems, such as rapid infiltration basins, are rare.

Acidification Stimulates N2O Production by Oceanic Nitrifying Bacteria
Abstract Recent studies have shown changes in the production rates of nitrous oxide (N2O) in aerobic seawater in response to ocean acidification (OA). Understanding how N2O production responds to OA is crucial because N2O is a strong greenhouse gas and stratospheric ozone‐depleting substance emitted from the ocean.

Nutrient cycling potential within microbial communities on culturally important stoneworks [PDF]
Previous studies on microbes associated with deterioration of cultural heritage (CH) stoneworks have revealed a diverse microbiota adapted to stresses such as low nutrients, aridity and high salinity, temperatures and radiation.

Unveiling Global Diversity of Patescibacteriota and Functional Interactions with Host Microbes
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 ...
