Nitrification is the aerobic process of the nitrogen cycle that converts ammonia to nitrate and
is facilitated by ammonia-oxidizing and nitrite-oxidizing microorganisms. Ammonia-oxidizers …

The abundance and structural composition of nitrogen (N) transformation-related microbial
communities under certain environmental conditions provide sufficient information about N …

Abstract Benzophenone-3 (BP-3) has attracted widespread attention due to its large
accumulation in the environment and its potential toxicity effects to human. This study aimed …

Rapid gravity sand filtration is a drinking water production technology widely used around
the world. Microbially catalyzed processes dominate the oxidative transformation of …

Nitrite reductase (NirK) and nitric oxide reductase (NorB) have long been thought to play an
essential role in nitrous oxide (N2O) production by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria. However …

Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) have well characterized genes that encode and express
nitrite reductases (NIR) and nitric oxide reductases (NOR). However, the connection …

Background: Mixed microbial communities underpin important biotechnological processes
such as biological wastewater treatment (BWWT). A detailed knowledge of community …

In the environment, nutrients are rarely available in a constant supply. Therefore,
microorganisms require strategies to compete for limiting nutrients. In freshwater systems …

Cucumber Fusarium wilt is a worldwide soil-borne disease that seriously restricts the yield
and quality of cucumber. The rhizosphere soil microbiome, as the first line of defense …

Niche specialization of nitrifying prokaryotes is usually studied with tools targeting molecules
involved in the oxidation of ammonia and nitrite. The ecological significance of diverse CO2 …
