Archaea are diverse and ubiquitous prokaryotes present in both extreme and moderate
environments. Estuaries, serving as links between the land and ocean, harbor numerous …

Taihu Lake is hypereutrophic and experiences seasonal, cyanobacterial harmful algal
blooms. These Microcystis blooms produce microcystin, a potent liver toxin, and are linked to …

Bacteria play an important role in the decomposition and cycling of a variety of compounds
in freshwater aquatic environments, particularly nutrient-rich eutrophic lakes. A unique …

Aquaculture ponds are simple and unique ecosystems, which are affected intensively by
human activities. In this mini-review, we focus our attention on the distribution and …

Ammonia oxidation plays a pivotal role in the cycling and removal of nitrogen in aquatic
ecosystems. Recent findings have expanded the known ammonia-oxidizing prokaryotes …

Constructed wetland (CW) is an environment-friendly and low-cost technology for nutrients
removal from domestic wastewater. For a well-tuned CW, hydraulic loading rate (HLR) is …

Long-term effects of inorganic and organic fertilization on nitrification activity (NA) and the
abundances and community structures of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ammonia …

Regime shifts between nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) limitation, which trigger
cyanobacterial succession, occur in shallow eutrophic lakes seasonally. However, the …

Sediment bacterial communities are sensitive to environmental fluctuations, particularly
external input sources. Studying the relationships between bacterial community distribution …

Ammonia oxidation is performed by both ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-
oxidizing bacteria (AOB). However, the current knowledge of the distribution, diversity, and …
