Heavy metal pollution in soil around abandoned mine sites is one of the most critical
environmental issues worldwide. Soil microbes form complex communities and perform …

One of the bottlenecks to applying anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) is the long
start-up time, especially under mainstream conditions. This study proposed a strategy for fast …

Free nitrous acid (FNA) exerts a broad range of antimicrobial effects on bacteria, although
susceptibility varies considerably among microorganisms. Among nitrifiers found in activated …

The nitrifying systems have been reported to be able to biodegrade micropollutants, yet it is
still unclear about the cometabolism of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) towards …

The influence of growth medium water chemistry, specifically carbon/nitrogen (C/N) molar
ratios, on the characteristics and development of biofilms of the model microorganism …

Soil aggregates are integral parts of soil structure and play paramount roles in supporting
microbial diversity, nutrient cycling and water retention. The formation of multispecies …

Biofilm bioreactors are attracting growing interest in the wastewater industry, as they allow
higher cell densities and thus higher reaction rates compared to conventional bioreactors …

Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) play an important role in the global nitrogen cycle and
have broad applications in the nitrogen removal from wastewater. However, the AOB …

Nitrosomonas europaea, an aerobic ammonia oxidizing bacterium, is responsible for the first
and rate-limiting step of the nitrification process, and their ammonia oxidation activities are …

The biodegradation of organic pollutants is influenced by microbial activities, and quorum
sensing (QS) is a crucial mechanism that regulates physiological activities. During the …
