Nitrogen source influences the interactions of comammox bacteria with aerobic nitrifiers
Microbiology SpectrumWhile the co-existence of comammox Nitrospira with canonical nitrifiers is well documented in diverse ecosystems, there is still a dearth of knowledge about the mechanisms underpinning their interactions.

Metagenomic Evidence for the Presence of Comammox
mSphere, 2016 We report metagenomic evidence for the presence of a Nitrospira-like organism with the metabolic potential to perform the complete oxidation of ammonia to nitrate (i.e., it is a complete ammonia oxidizer [comammox]) in a drinking water system.

Sustained nitrogen loss in a symbiotic association of Comammox Nitrospira and Anammox bacteria [PDF]
Water Research, 2020 ABSTRACT The discovery of complete aerobic and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (Comammox and Anammox) significantly altered our understanding of the global nitrogen cycle. A high affinity for ammonia ( K m(app),NH3 ≈ 63nM) and oxygen place the first described ...

Expanding perspectives of soil nitrification to include ammonia‐oxidizing archaea and comammox bacteria [PDF]
Soil Science Society of America Journal, 2020 Abstract Catalyzed by multiple groups of phylogenetically distinct microorganisms, soil nitrification impacts ground water quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and agricultural practices. This review explores known microbial players involved in nitrification, encompassing aspects of biogeography, phylogenetic ...

Abundance and community composition of comammox bacteria in different ecosystems by a universal primer set [PDF]
Science of The Total Environment, 2018 Abstract Complete ammonia oxidizing bacteria (CAOB) have been recognized as a new member of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOMs) due to its single-step nitrification capability. However, the abundance and diversity of CAOB in environmental ecosystems were still far from known owing to the lack of specific molecular

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2023 Benzimidazole fungicides are frequently detected in aquatic environments and pose a serious health risk. Here, we investigated the metabolic capacity of the recently discovered complete ammonia-oxidizing (comammox) Nitrospira inopinata and kreftii to transform a representative set of benzimidazole fungicides (i.e., benzimidazole, albendazole ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 The discovery of complete ammonia oxidation (comammox), oxidizing ammonia to nitrate via nitrite in a single organism, has redefined the traditional recognition of the two-step nitrification driven by two functional groups (ammonia-oxidizing and nitrite ...

Distribution and Diversity of Comammox Nitrospira in Coastal Wetlands of China
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Complete ammonia oxidizers (comammox), able to individually oxidize ammonia to nitrate, are considered to play a significant role in the global nitrogen cycle.

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 (

mSphere, 2021 Analysis of nitrogen isotope fractionation effects is useful for tracing biogeochemical nitrogen cycle processes. Nitrification can cause large nitrogen isotope effects through the enzymatic oxidation of ammonia (NH3) via nitrite (NO2−) to nitrate (NO3−)
