Comammox Nitrospira act as key bacteria in weakly acidic soil via potential cobalamin sharing [PDF]
The 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.

Niche differentiation among comammox (Nitrospira inopinata) and other metabolically distinct nitrifiers [PDF]
Due to global change, increasing nutrient input to ecosystems dramatically affects the nitrogen cycle, especially the nitrification process. Nitrifiers including ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOAs), ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOBs), nitrite-oxidizing ...

Niche Differentiation of Comammox Nitrospira in the Mudflat and Reclaimed Agricultural Soils Along the North Branch of Yangtze River Estuary [PDF]
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 ...

Unraveling the important role of comammox Nitrospira to nitrification in the coastal aquaculture system [PDF]
Increasing nitrogen (N) input to coastal ecosystems poses a serious environmental threat. It is important to understand the responses and feedback of N removal microbial communities, particularly nitrifiers including the newly recognized complete ammonia-

Enrichment of Comammox and Nitrite-Oxidizing Nitrospira From Acidic Soils [PDF]
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 ...

Nitrogen Kinetic Isotope Effects of Nitrification by the Complete Ammonia Oxidizer Nitrospira inopinata [PDF]
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−)

Soil moisture is a primary driver of comammox Nitrospira abundance in New Zealand soils [PDF]
The objectives of this study were to investigate the abundance and community composition of comammox Nitrospira under: (i) pasture-based dairy farms from different regions, and (ii) different land uses from the same region and soil type.
