Numerous past studies have shown members of the genus Nitrospira to be the predominant
nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) in nitrifying wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Only …

Microplastics (MPs) provide habitats to microorganisms in aquatic environments; distinct
microbial niches have recently been elucidated. However, there is little known about the …

This study examined the fecal bacterial diversity of 15-weekold pigs from three purebred
lines: Duroc, Landrace, and Yorkshire. Taxon-dependent and-independent analyses were …

Nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) play a critical role in the mitigation of nitrogen pollution by
metabolizing nitrite to nitrate, which is removed via assimilation, denitrification, or anammox …

Nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) are responsible for the second step of nitrification in natural

The external environment plays a critical role in shaping the structure of the gut microbiome.
One potential health threat lies in the release of antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) from cross …

Pyropia yezoensis is commercially the most important edible red alga in China, and red rot
disease is viewed as one of the major constraints for its cultivation. Microbes within the …

Showerheads support the development of multi-species biofilms that can be unsightly,
