Encapsulating microorganisms is promising to enhance biological nitrogen removal (BNR)
in wastewater, with benefits of increased efficiency, reduced inhibition, and improved …

Sequencing surveys of microbial communities in hosts, oceans and soils have revealed
ubiquitous patterns linking community composition to environmental conditions. While …

Excessive nitrate in aquaculture systems has attracted wide attention. To isolate novel
aerobic denitrifying strain and characterize its nitrogen removal processes, a facultative …

When bacteria are grown in a batch culture containing a mixture of two growth-limiting
substrates, they exhibit a rich spectrum of substrate consumption patterns including diauxic …

Microbial metabolism sustains life on Earth. Sequencing surveys of communities in hosts,
oceans, and soils have revealed ubiquitous patterns linking the microbes present, the genes …

In their natural environment microorganisms encounter changes in substrate availability,
involving either nutrient concentrations or nutrient types. They have to adapt to the new …

In response to impending anoxic conditions, denitrifying bacteria sustain respiratory
metabolism by producing enzymes for reducing nitrogen oxyanions/-oxides (NOx) to N2 …

The presence of Fe (III), but not that of Fe (II), resulted in ca. 20-fold-lower levels of mRNA for
fumarate reductase, inhibiting fumarate reduction and favoring utilization of fumarate as an …

3-Hydroxy-4, 5-dimethyl-2 (5 H)-furanone (sotolone) and 3-amino-4, 5-dimethyl-2 (5 H)-
furanone, the postulated precursor of sotolone, were detected in hairy root cultures of …

Denitrifying bacteria that are switched from oxic to anoxic conditions can experience diauxic
lag, which is the time required for re-synthesis of nitrate reductase and other denitrifying …
