The finding of the amoA gene in archaea populations has raised the prospect of an important role for ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) in nitrification in different ecosystems 1,9. The amoA gene encodes ...

It could never be found until recently, in a fish tank a few floors below a university microbiology department: one single organism able to perform the complete process of nitrification.

Nitrogen has a central role in biogeochemical cycles in the ocean because it generally limits marine biological production. New production, which is defined as production based on nitrogenous ...

Farmers around the world rely on nitrogen fertilizers to sustain crop production, but in many alkaline soils a large share of that nitrogen is rapidly lost before plants can use it. A new study ...

Recently, the research team led by Professor WU Lifang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, developed copper pyrazole, a novel nitrification inhibitor, and ...

An experimental simulation of near-future changes in ocean chemistry suggests that aquatic nitrogen cycles could be profoundly disrupted, altering the basic structure of Earth's food webs. Nitrogen is ...

But different microbes have distinct roles to play, and environmental factors influence activity. Under our feet, in the soil, is a wealth of microbial activity. Just like humans have different ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Simultaneous nitrification—denitrification (SND) of municipal wastewater was investigated in a laboratory-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) ...

Nitrification is a microbially mediated aerobic biological process in the nitrogen cycle whereby reduced inorganic nitrogen (primarily ammonium, NH₄⁺) is oxidized to nitrate (NO₃⁻) via nitrite (NO₂⁻).

There are at least two solid reasons for using an N stabilizer in your fields, as well as one scenario when it doesn’t make financial sense.
