Cometabolism of Trihalomethanes by Nitrosomonas europaea [PDF]
ABSTRACT The ammonia-oxidizing bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea (ATCC 19718) was shown to degrade low concentrations (50 to 800 μg/liter) of the four trihalomethanes (trichloromethane [TCM], or chloroform; bromodichloromethane [BDCM]; dibromochloromethane [DBCM]; and tribromomethane [TBM], or bromoform ...

Ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms perform the first step of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite. The bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea is the best-characterized ammonia oxidizer to date. Exposure to hypoxic conditions has a profound effect on

Growth ofNitrosomonas europaeaon hydroxylamine [PDF]
Hydroxylamine is an intermediate in the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite, but until now it has not been possible to grow Nitrosomonas europaea on hydroxylamine. This study demonstrates that cells of N. europaea are capable of growing mixotrophically on ammonia and hydroxylamine. The molar growth yield on hydroxylamine (4.74 g mol−1 at a growth rate of 0.

Lost in translation: the quest for Nitrosomonas cluster 7‐specific amoA primers and TaqMan probes
Summary The choice of primer and TaqMan probes to quantify ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in environmental samples is of crucial importance. The re‐evaluation of primer pairs based on current genomic sequences used for quantification of the amoA gene ...

The stress response of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) to oxygen deprivation limits AOB growth and leads to different nitrification pathways that cause the release of greenhouse gases.

Background Agriculture relies on the intensive use of synthetic nitrogen (N) fertilizers to maximize crop yields, which has led to the transformation of agricultural soils into high-nitrifying environments.

Typically, nitrification is a two-stage microbial process and is key in wastewater treatment and nutrient recovery from waste streams. Changes in salinity represent a major stress factor that can trigger response mechanisms, impacting the activity and ...

Identification of bacteria responsible for Nitrification and its correlation with physicochemical properties of water resources. [PDF]
In this study, many findings were observed by monitoring seasonal variations of physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics of raw water of seven main canals used by Water Purification Plants in Kafr El-Sheikh governorate; those findings ...

17α-ethynylestradiol (EE2) is a priority emerging contaminant (EC) in diverse environments that can be cometabolized by ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB). However, its transformation kinetics and the underlying molecular mechanism are unclear.

Dinitrogen oxide production by a mixed culture of nitrifying bacteria during ammonia shock loading and aeration failure [PDF]
A number of experiments was conducted in order to establish if N2O in the exhaust gas from an aerobic consortium of nitrifiers could be used as an indicator for monitoring the nitrification process.
