Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) significantly contributes to nitrogen loss in
freshwater ecosystems. The sediment-water interface (SWI), known as a “hot spot” for …

Aquaculture production of the Pacific white shrimp is the largest in the world for crustacean
species. Crucial to the sustainable global production of this important seafood species is a …

To investigate the differences in activated sludge microbial communities of different
wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and understand their metabolic potentials, we …

Microorganisms are main drivers of the sulfur, nitrogen and carbon biogeochemical cycles.
These elemental cycles are interconnected by the activity of different guilds in sediments or …

Freshwater mussels are a species-rich group of aquatic invertebrates that are among the
most endangered groups of fauna worldwide. As filter-feeders that are constantly exposed to …

Mariculture is known to contribute to oxygen depletion, pH decline and accumulation of
nutrients and organic matter in sediments. However, studies on the bacterial vertical …

In freshwater ecosystems, consumers can play large roles in nutrient cycling by modifying
nutrient availability for autotrophic and heterotrophic microbes. Nutrients released by …

Freshwater mussel assemblages of the Upper Mississippi River (UMR) sequester tons of
ammonia-and urea-based biodeposits each day and aerate sediment through burrowing …

Gut microbial communities are vital for maintaining host health, and are sensitive to diet,
environment, and chemical exposures. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) release …

Microbiomes are increasingly recognized as widespread regulators of function from
individual organism to ecosystem scales. However, the manner in which animals influence …
