Carbon use efficiency (CUE) is being intensively applied to quantify carbon (C) cycling
processes from microbial cell to global scales. Energy use efficiency (EUE) is at least as …

Ammonia is an important chemical that is widely used in fertilizer applications as well as in
the steel, chemical, textile, and pharmaceutical industries, which has attracted attention as a …

Soil microbiomes are highly diverse, and to improve their representation in biogeochemical
models, microbial genome data can be leveraged to infer key functional traits. By integrating …

Simultaneous recovery of biopolymers and enhanced bio-reactor performance are
promising options for sustainable wastewater treatment, and the bioactivity of sludge after …

Soil microbial growth, a vital biogeochemical process, governs both the accrual and loss of
soil carbon. Here, we investigate the biogeography of soil microbiome potential growth rates …

The efficient operation of activated sludge systems is frequently hindered by low
temperatures, and extensive research has been conducted to overcome this difficulty …

Microorganisms function as open systems that exchange matter and energy with their
surrounding environment. Even though mass (carbon and nutrients) and energy exchanges …

Soil organic matter (SOM) plays a central role for both the C cycle and soil functions. Plants
provide the input and heterotrophic (micro) organisms are essential for the turnover …

Decomposition kinetics are fundamental for quantifying carbon and nutrient cycling in
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Several theories have been proposed to construct …

Anaerobic digestion (AD) relies on myriads of functions performed by complex microbial
communities in customized settings, thus, a comprehensive investigation on the AD …
