Quorum sensing (QS) and quorum quenching (QQ) are increasingly reported in biological
wastewater treatment processes because of their inherent roles in biofilm development …

Many wastewater treatment plants in the world do not remove reactive nitrogen from
wastewater prior to release into the environment. Excess reactive nitrogen not only has a …

Soil ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea (AOB and AOA) convert ammonium/ammonia
to nitrite in the process of nitrification. However, the potentially differential responses of these …

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

Nitrification is a major process within the nitrogen (N) cycle leading to global losses of N,
including fertiliser N, from natural and agricultural systems and producing significant nitrous …

Greenhouse vegetable soils are characterized by high N 2 O emissions, but the functional
importance of potential ammonia (NH 3) oxidation (PAO) and nitrite (NO 2−) consumption …

The genomes of many bacteria that participate in nitrogen cycling through the process of
nitrification contain putative genes associated with acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) quorum …

Archaeal and bacterial ammonia-oxidizers drive the first step of nitrification, ammonia
oxidation. Despite their importance, the relative contribution of soil factors influencing the …

Background Endophytic microorganisms are a rich source of bioactive natural products.
They are considered as promising biofertilizers and biocontrol agents due to their growth …

Antarctic soils generally have low temperatures and limited availability of liquid water and
nutrients. However, animals can increase the nutrient availability of ice-free areas by …
