Nitrosomonas sp. strain AL212 is an obligate chemolithotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacterium (AOB) that was originally isolated in 1997 by Yuichi Suwa and colleagues. This organism belongs to Nitrosomonas cluster 6A, which is characterized by sensitivity to high ammonia concentrations, higher substrate affinity (lower K(m)), and lower maximum growth rates than strains in Nitrosomonas cluster 7, which includes Nitrosomonas europaea and Nitrosomonas eutropha. Genome-informed studies of this ammonia-sensitive cohort of AOB are needed, as these bacteria are found in freshwater environments, drinking water supplies, wastewater treatment systems, and soils worldwide.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among pollutant removal performance, microbial community structure, and potential gene function of immobilized microorganisms in coking wastewater (CWW) treatment process. The results showed that the immobilized biomass containing strain Comamonas sp. ZF-3 displayed greater resistance to CWW and higher COD, NH4+-N removal efficiency (92%, 60%) than free cells (48%, 7%), meanwhile, the results from GC-MS proved main organic pollutants in CWW including phenolic compounds, heterocyclic compounds, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons were basically removed by immobilized microorganisms.

Copepods are small crustaceans that live in microorganism-rich aquatic environments and provide a key supply of live food for fish and shellfish larviculture. To better understand the host-pathogen interaction between the copepod and Vibrio parahaemolyticus causing acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (VP), the comparative transcriptome and microbiome analyses were conducted in copepod Apocyclops royi-TH following VP infection. Transcriptome analysis identified a total of 836 differentially expressed genes, with 275 upregulated and 561 downregulated genes.

The advancement of regenerative life support systems (RLSS) is crucial to allow long-distance space travel. Within the Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative (MELiSSA), efficient nitrogen recovery from urine and other waste streams is vital to produce liquid fertilizer to feed food and oxygen production in subsequent photoautotrophic processes. This study explores the effects of ionizing radiation on nitrogen cycle bacteria that transform urea to nitrate.

Synthetic nitrification inhibitors are routinely used with nitrogen fertilizers to reduce nitrogen losses from agroecosystems, despite having drawbacks like poor efficiency, cost, and entry into the food chain. Plant-derived BNIs constitute a more environmentally conducive alternative. Knowledge on the activity of BNIs to soil nitrifiers is largely based on bioassays with a single strain which does not constitute a dominant member of the community of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOM) in soil.

An important role of nitric oxide (NO) as either a free intermediate in the NH oxidation pathway or a potential oxidant for NH or NHOH has been proposed for ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA), respectively. However, tracing NO metabolism at low concentrations remains notoriously difficult. Here, we use electrochemical sensors and the mild NO scavenger 2-phenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl 3-oxide (PTIO) to trace apparent NO concentration and determine production rates at low micromolar concentrations in the model AOB strain Nitrosomonas europaea.
