Genomic profiling of Nitrospira species reveals ecological success of comammox Nitrospira [PDF]
Microbiome, 2022 Background The discovery of microorganisms capable of complete ammonia oxidation to nitrate (comammox) has prompted a paradigm shift in our understanding of nitrification, an essential process in N cycling, hitherto considered to require both ammonia ...

Evolutionary Ecology of Natural Comammox Nitrospira Populations [PDF]
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 ...

Nitrification inhibitor chlorate and nitrogen substrates differentially affect comammox Nitrospira in a grassland soil [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyIntroductionThrough the combined use of two nitrification inhibitors, Dicyandiamide (DCD) and chlorate with nitrogen amendment, this study aimed to investigate the contribution of comammox Nitrospira clade B, ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (

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.

Salinity changes the nitrification activity and community composition of comammox Nitrospira in intertidal sediments of Yangtze River estuary [PDF]
mSystems, 2023 The newly discovered complete ammonia-oxidizing (comammox) Nitrospira has been identified in different environments, including coastal environments, where salinity is one of the most important factors for the abundance and activity of nitrifiers.

Differential responses of canonical nitrifiers and comammox Nitrospira to long-term fertilization in an Alfisol of Northeast China [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 The newly identified complete ammonia oxidizer (comammox) that converts ammonia directly into nitrate has redefined the long-held paradigm of two-step nitrification mediated by two distinct groups of nitrifiers.

The impact of fertilization on ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and comammox Nitrospira communities and the subsequent effect on N2O emission and maize yield in a semi-arid region [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 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 ...
