Rapid economic growth in Asia and especially in China, will lead to a huge increase of food
waste (FW) production that is expected to increase by 278–416 million tonnes. Among …

The discovery of complete ammonia oxidizers, comammox Nitrospira, represents a
breakthrough in the history of nitrification research. Nitrospira inopinata, which was obtained …

Excessive ammonia (NH 3) emitted from nitrogen fertilizer application in farmland have
caused serious disturbance to global environment, including reduction of visibility, formation …

The recent discovery of complete ammonia oxidation (comammox) process in a single
organism challenged the division of labor between two functional groups in the classical two …

Complete ammonia oxidizers (comammox), able to individually oxidize ammonia to nitrate,
are considered to play a significant role in the global nitrogen cycle. However, the …

Complete ammonia oxidizing bacteria (CAOB) have been recognized as a new member of
ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOMs) due to its single-step nitrification capability …

Nitrification and denitrification are crucial processes in the nitrogen cycle, a vital microbially
driven biogeochemical cycle. N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated quorum sensing …

Unravelling the ecological niche differentiation between comammox Nitrospira, ammonia-
oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) is essential to understand forest nitrogen …

Nitrogen addition to croplands greatly increases global emissions of the potent greenhouse
gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O). Three ammonia-oxidizing functional guilds constitute the major …

The discovery of complete ammonia oxidation (comammox) has altered our understanding
of nitrification, which is the rate-limiting process in the global nitrogen cycle. However …
