Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in a wide range of
physiological and pathological events in biology. Metal coordination chemistry, especially …

This paper reviews dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) in soils-a newly
appreciated pathway of nitrogen (N) cycling in the terrestrial ecosystems. The reduction of …

Reduction of oxides and oxoanions of carbon and nitrogen are of great contemporary
importance as they are crucial for a sustainable environment. Substantial research has been …

Dissimilatory reduction of metal (eg Fe, Mn)(hydr) oxides represents a challenge for
microorganisms, as their cell envelopes are impermeable to metal (hydr) oxides that are …

Nitrite is one of the players in the broad nitrogen biogeochemical cycle. This nitrogen oxo-
anion is involved in key pathways crucial to life on Earth and to the planetary “recycling” of …

Chemolithotrophic bacteria that use sulfate as terminal electron acceptor (sulfate-reducing
bacteria) constitute a unique physiological group of microorganisms that couple anaerobic …

Nitrate ammonification is important for soil nitrogen retention. However, the ecology of
ammonifiers and their prevalence compared with denitrifiers, being competitors for nitrate …

The last years have witnessed a steady increase of social and political awareness for the
need of studying, monitoring, and controlling several anthropological activities that are …

Oxidation of membrane‐bound quinol molecules is a central step in the respiratory electron
transport chains used by biological cells to generate ATP by oxidative phosphorylation. A …

Iron is the most versatile of all biochemically active metals, with variability encompassing its
electronic configuration, number of unpaired electrons, type of ligands and iron-complexes …
