Metagenomics has revolutionized microbiology by paving the way for a cultivation-
independent assessment and exploitation of microbial communities present in complex …

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 …

Soil salinity acts as a critical environmental filter on microbial communities, but the
consequences for microbial diversity and biogeochemical processes are poorly understood …

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria play an important role in the
biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen. They derive their energy for growth from the conversion …

Microorganisms are found throughout every corner of nature, and vast number of
microorganisms is difficult to cultivate by classical microbiological techniques. The advent of …

Anammox and denitrification mediated by bacteria are known to be the major microbial
processes converting fixed N to N2 gas in various ecosystems. Codenitrification and …

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing (anammox) bacteria
have emerged as significant factors in the marine nitrogen cycle and are responsible for the …

Rapidly growing discharge of nitrogen-rich saline wastewater has significantly affect
environment. However, due to the inhibition resulting from high salinity on microbes, it is still …

An aerobic granular sludge, cultivated with modified piggery wastewater, was capable of
simultaneously removing COD and N at high COD and N loading rates. Confirmed to be …

Anaerobic ammonium-oxidizing (anammox) process plays an important role in the nitrogen
cycle of the worldwide anoxic and mesophilic habitats. Recently, the existence and activity of …
