Competition between Nitrospira spp. and Nitrobacter spp. in nitrite-oxidizing bioreactors [PDF]
In this work the question was addressed if in nitrite-oxidizing activated sludge systems the environmental competition between Nitrobacterspp. and Nitrospira spp., which only recently has been discovered to play a role in these systems, is affected by ...

Community assembly of comammox Nitrospira in coastal wetlands across southeastern China [PDF]
Complete ammonia oxidizers (comammox Nitrospira) are ubiquitous in coastal wetland sediments and play an important role in nitrification. Our study examined the impact of habitat modifications on comammox Nitrospira communities in coastal wetland ...

A novel Nitrospira lineage isolated from activated sludge using elevated temperatures. [PDF]
The genus Nitrospira represents the dominant nitrite-oxidizing clade in most wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) globally, and several Nitrospira strains have been isolated from activated sludge.

Comammox Nitrospira abundance and contribution to nitrification in a forested landscape
Nitrification 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 ...

Comammox Nitrospira among dominant ammonia oxidizers within aquarium biofilter microbial communities
Nitrification by aquarium biofilters transforms ammonia waste (NH3/NH4+) to less toxic nitrate (NO3-) via nitrite (NO2-). Prior to the discovery of complete ammonia-oxidizing (“comammox” or CMX) Nitrospira, previous research revealed that ammonia ...

Cultivation-Based Detection of a Novel High-GC Nitrospira Derived From the Argentinian Copahue Volcano Area. [PDF]
In this cultivation‐based study, two novel moderately thermophilic Nitrospira enrichments were obtained from the geothermal field Las Máquinas in the Neuquén Province, Argentina. Both nitrite oxidizers, belonging to lineage V or the novel taxonomic lineage VIII, contain quorum‐sensing genes and a high genome GC content of 60.6% and 69.4%.

Mutualistic relationship between Nitrospira and concomitant heterotrophs [PDF]
Summary Nitrifying chemoautotrophs support the growth of diverse concomitant heterotrophs in natural or engineered environments by supplying organic compounds. In this study, we aimed to investigate this microbial association, especially (i) to distinguish whether the relationship between nitrifying ...

Ammonium Removal in Aquaponics Indicates Participation of Comammox Nitrospira [PDF]
AbstractAquaponic systems are sustainable solutions for food production combining fish growth (aquaculture) and production of vegetables (hydroponic) in one recirculating system. In aquaponics, nitrogen-enriched wastewater from fish in the aquaculture serves as fertilizer for the plants in the hydroponics, while the nitrogen-depleted and detoxified ...

Existence and distribution of novel phylotypes of Nitrospira in water columnsof the South China Sea
Summary: In the biological nitrogen cycle, nitrite oxidation is performed by nitrite oxidation bacteria, of which Nitrospira is widespread and diverse. Communities of Nitrospira were collected at 25–1500 m depths in the South China Sea.
