Respiratory and catabolic genes are differentially distributed across microbial genomes.
Thus, specific carbon sources may favor different respiratory processes. We profiled the …

In the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle, microbial respiration processes compete for nitrate as
an electron acceptor. Denitrification converts nitrate into nitrogenous gas and thus removes …

Microbial enzymes often occur as distinct variants that share the same substrate but differ in
substrate affinity, sensitivity to environmental conditions, or phylogenetic ancestry …

Nitrate is a key node in the network of the assimilatory and respiratory nitrogen pathways. As
one of the 'fixed'forms of nitrogen, nitrate plays an essential role in both nature and industry …

Nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) are ubiquitous and abundant microorganisms that play key
roles in global nitrogen and carbon biogeochemical cycling. Despite recent advances in …

Connecting molecular information directly to microbial transformation rates remains a
challenge, despite the availability of molecular methods to investigate microbial …

This study coupled a landscape‐scale metagenomic survey of denitrification gene
abundance in soils with in situ denitrification measurements to show how environmental …

Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) and denitrification are two nitrate
respiration pathways in the microbial nitrogen cycle. Diversity and abundance of denitrifying …

Nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) play a critical role in the mitigation of nitrogen pollution by
metabolizing nitrite to nitrate, which is removed via assimilation, denitrification, or anammox …

Microbial biogeography has predominantly been studied through a taxonomic lens.
However, functional properties of microbial communities are often decoupled from their …
