Ammonia-oxidizing archaea and complete ammonia-oxidizing Nitrospira in water treatment systems

Water Research X, 2022
Nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate via nitrite, is important for many engineered water treatment systems. The sequential steps of this respiratory process are carried out by distinct microbial guilds, including ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (

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

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.

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.

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 ...

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

Community Composition and Abundance of Bacterial, Archaeal and Nitrifying Populations in Savanna Soils on Contrasting Bedrock Material in Kruger National Park, South Africa [PDF]

, 2016
Savannas cover at least 13% of the global terrestrial surface and are often nutrient limited, especially by nitrogen. To gain a better understanding of their microbial diversity and the microbial nitrogen cycling in savanna soils, soil samples were ...

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.

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.
