Serpentine Biocrust Microbes Maintain Nitrogen Cycling Under Drought and Heavy Metal Stress

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.
This study highlights the complex interplay between soil geochemistry and moisture availability in shaping microbial communities within wetter and drier serpentine and non‐serpentine biological soil crusts. It demonstrates that both factors influence the structure of nitrogen‐cycling microbial communities and the processes they mediate.

Soil legacy effects on a temperate tree species depend on the mycorrhizal types and phylogenetic distance of the conditioning trees

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2602-2616, August 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Associations of trees with arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) fungi often shape distinct microbial communities in soils. Whether this distinction can create different soil legacies and to what extent such legacies are correlated to phylogenetic ...

The draft genome sequence of “Nitrospira lenta” strain BS10, a nitrite oxidizing bacterium isolated from activated sludge

Standards in Genomic Sciences, 2018
The genus Nitrospira is considered to be the most widespread and abundant group of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria in many natural and man-made ecosystems. However, the ecophysiological versatility within this phylogenetic group remains highly understudied ...

Three Decades of Soil N2O Research—Insights and Gaps

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
Progress in N2O Research and Key Breakthroughs and Transitions from 1990 to 2025 across three domains: (A) process understanding, (B) microbial ecology, and (C) modelling of soil N2O emissions. ABSTRACT Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) whose atmospheric concentration continues to rise, largely driven by nitrogen (N) inputs to ...

Photoinhibition of comammox reaction in Nitrospira inopinata in a dose- and wavelength-dependent manner

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Apparent contribution of complete ammonia-oxidizing organisms (comammox) to the global nitrogen cycle highlights the necessity for understanding niche differentiation of comammox bacteria among other ammonia oxidizers. While the high affinity for ammonia of the comammox species Nitrospira inopinata suggests their niche partitioning is expected to be ...

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea and complete ammonia-oxidizing Nitrospira in water treatment systems

Water Research X, 2022
Nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate via nitrite, is important for many engineered water treatment systems. The sequential steps of this respiratory process are carried out by distinct microbial guilds, including ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (

Substrate‐driven enrichment and eDNA metabarcoding reveal indigenous microbiomes in mangrove sediments with potential for ammonia and nitrite transformation

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Effective management of ammonia and nitrite remains a major challenge in intensive shrimp aquaculture, where excessive nitrogen loading compromises water quality and animal health. Indigenous microbial communities inhabiting mangrove sediments are widely considered potential sources of ammonia‐ and nitrite‐transforming microorganisms; however,

Survival of a potential bacterial biocontrol agent in the soil and its impact on microbial communities

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 7, Page 6984-6998, July 2026.
In soil microcosms, the candidate Bacillus persisted ≥6 months and caused modest community shifts whose transience and magnitude were soil dependent. Abstract BACKGROUND Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a major crop pathogen commonly managed using fungicides.

Chemical Speciation Defines Archaeal Ammonia‐Oxidizer Distribution in Yellowstone Hot Springs

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The hot springs of Yellowstone National Park (YNP) provide a natural laboratory for investigating the influence of chemical speciation and energy availability on the distribution of microbes. Among 133 inorganic chemotrophic energy supplies, total dissolved ammonia oxidation was consistently one of the highest across 63 YNP hot spring samples.

Competitive and substrate limited environments drive metabolic heterogeneity for comammox Nitrospira

ISME Communications, 2023
Abstract Nitrospira has been revealed as a high versatile genus. Although previously considered only responsible for the conversion of nitrite to nitrate, now we know that Nitrospira can perform complete ammonia oxidation to nitrate too (comammox).
