Nitric oxide (NO) is an important signaling molecule that is involved in a wide range of
physiological and pathological events in biology. Metal coordination chemistry, especially …

The nitrogen cycle is one of the most important biogeochemical cycles on Earth because
nitrogen is an essential nutrient for all life forms. To supplement natural nitrogen fixation …

Protein design is a valuable tool for understanding the fundamental factors that dictate
protein structure and function. The field of protein design has seen significant progress over …

A new acid-resistant bacterium Acinetobacter sp. JR1 was isolated, and its feasibility in
nitrogen removal was investigated under acidic condition. Results show that JR1 indicated …

A novel heterotrophic nitrifying bacterium was isolated from activated sludge and was
identified as Acinetobacter junii YB. The strain exhibited efficient heterotrophic nitrification …

Strain C-13, identified as an Acinetobacter sp. by homology searches, exhibited efficient
simultaneous heterotrophic nitrification-aerobic denitrification phosphorus removal (SNDPR) …

Nitrogen is a basic element for life because it is a component of the two preeminent
biological macromolecules: proteins and nucleic acids. Nitrogen exists in the biosphere in …

Nitrite is one of the players in the broad nitrogen biogeochemical cycle. This nitrogen oxo-
anion is involved in key pathways crucial to life on Earth and to the planetary “recycling” of …

Alcaligenes faecalis no. 4 has heterotrophic nitrification and aerobic denitrification abilities.
By taking the nitrogen balance under different culture conditions, 40–50% of removed NH4+ …

Ammonium removal from source water is usually inhibited by insufficient carbon sources
and low temperature in Northeastern China. A strain Y16 was isolated from oligotrophic …
