Natural variation of the wheat root exudate metabolome and its influence on biological nitrification inhibition activity

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 11, Page 4755-4772, November 2025.
Summary Excessive nitrogen use and low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) in current agroecosystems are disrupting the global nitrogen cycle. Chemical inhibitors offer only temporary relief, while plant‐derived biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs) remain safer but underexplored.

Current understanding of electroautotrophy and its relevance in astrobiology‐related research

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 473-493, October 2025.
Abstract Electroautotrophy—the use of extracellular electrons as the primary energy source for autotrophic metabolism—remains understudied compared to photoautotrophy and chemoautotrophy. Its occurrence in deep‐earth and deep‐sea environments suggests profound implications for astrobiology, yet electroautotrophic microorganisms remain poorly explored ...

Heterotrophic ammonia oxidation by Alcaligenes balances ROS generation and terminal electron transport

mLife, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 527-538, October 2025.
Abstract Heterotrophic nitrifiers are bacteria that aerobically oxidize ammonia in the presence of organic carbon sources, which differs from autotrophic nitrifiers that extract energy from ammonia oxidation for cell metabolism and growth. The physiological significance of heterotrophic ammonia oxidation remains unclear, even though this process has ...

Microbial diversity and function in the rhizosphere microbiome: Driving forces and monitoring approaches

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract As an ecological unit, the rhizosphere microbiome preserves an enormous and largely unexplored diversity of microbes that play essential roles in plant health and soil functions. Omics technologies encompassing high‐throughput approaches such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and metaproteomics provide helpful tools to unravel the ...

Isotopomeric characterization of nitrous oxide produced by reaction of enzymes extracted from nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2014
Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas and produced in denitrification and nitrification by various microorganisms. Site preference (SP) of 15N in N2O, which is defined as the difference in the natural abundance of isotopomers 14N15NO and ...

A functional description of CymA, an electron-transfer hub supporting anaerobic respiratory flexibility in Shewanella [PDF]

, 2012
CymA (tetrahaem cytochrome c) is a member of the NapC/NirT family of quinol dehydrogenases. Essential for the anaerobic respiratory flexibility of shewanellae, CymA transfers electrons from menaquinol to various dedicated systems for the reduction of ...
