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 …

Purpose Nitrification, the microbial oxidation of ammonia to nitrate via nitrite, is a pivotal
component of the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. Nitrification was conventionally assumed …

Using 15 N stable isotope as a tracer to quantify N transformation rates in isotope-
enrichment experiments improves understanding of the N cycle in various ecosystems …

Microbial communities play critical roles in fixing carbon from the atmosphere and fixing it in
the soils. However, the large‐scale variations and drivers of these microbial communities …

Global riverine nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions have increased more than 4-fold in the last
century. It has been estimated that the hyporheic zones in small streams alone may …

The recent discovery of complete ammonia oxidation (comammox) process in a single
organism challenged the division of labor between two functional groups in the classical two …

Comammox, one nitrifying microorganism carries out the complete oxidation of ammonia to
nitrate, have been recently discovered, and are found in a wide range of environments …

Complete ammonia oxidizers (comammox), able to individually oxidize ammonia to nitrate,
are considered to play a significant role in the global nitrogen cycle. However, the …

The feedback of greenhouse gas emissions to climate change is vital for understanding and
predicting the impact of global warming on ecosystem functions. However, the legacy effect …

Rice ecosystems are distributed broadly from temperate to tropical regions, but little is
known about the underlying mechanisms shaping microbial communities and their network …
