Enrichment of Comammox and Nitrite-Oxidizing Nitrospira From Acidic Soils [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 In agricultural soils fertilized with a high amount of ammonium nitrogen, the pH decreases because of the oxidation of ammonia by nitrifiers. Molecular-based analyses have revealed that members of the genus Nitrospira dominate over other nitrifiers in ...

Comammox Nitrospira act as key bacteria in weakly acidic soil via potential cobalamin sharing
iMetaThe discovery of comammox Nitrospira in low pH environments has reshaped the ammonia oxidation process in acidic settings, providing a plausible explanation for the higher nitrification rates observed in weakly acidic soils.

Comammox Nitrospira abundance and contribution to nitrification in a forested landscape
EcosphereNitrification in terrestrial ecosystems is mediated by NH4+‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA). Presently, we understand relatively little about how physiological capacities and environmental tolerances influence their community composition, and ...

Genomic profiling of Nitrospira species reveals ecological success of comammox Nitrospira
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 ...

Genome-Enabled Insights into the Ecophysiology of the Comammox Bacterium “
mSystems, 2017 The recently discovered comammox bacteria have the potential to completely oxidize ammonia to nitrate. These microorganisms are part of the Nitrospira genus and are present in a variety of environments, including biological nutrient removal (BNR) systems.
