Nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) catalyze the second step of nitrification, nitrite oxidation to
nitrate, which is an important process of the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. NOB were …

Biotic and abiotic surfaces in marine waters are rapidly colonized by microorganisms.
Surface colonization and subsequent biofilm formation and development provide numerous …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) is a promising low carbon and economic
biological nitrogen removal technology. Considering the anammox technology has been …

Nitrospira are a diverse group of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria and among the environmentally
most widespread nitrifiers. However, they remain scarcely studied and mostly uncultured …

Nitrification is the microbial conversion of reduced forms of nitrogen (N) to nitrate (NO3−),
and in fertilized soils it can lead to substantial N losses via NO3− leaching or nitrous oxide …

Low-carbon approaches to agriculture constitute a pivotal measure to address the challenge
of global climate change. In agroecosystems, rhizosphere exudates are significantly …

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

Partial nitritation-anammox (PNA) is a promising and energy-efficient process for the
sustainable nitrogen removal. However, its wide applications are still limited by the long start …

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) is promising in wastewater treatment. However, the formation
and existence of AGS under low organic loading rate (OLR) is still not fully understood due …

Timely and sensitive detection of nitrite is of great significance for human health protection
and water pollution treatment. However, many biosensors can only determine the …
