Numerous studies investigated the variation of soil ammonia oxidizing microorganisms along the geographic distance, but few highlighted the associated influence of agricultural practices on ammonia oxidizing communities and functions. To make up this gap, we determined the variation of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), bacteria (AOB), and soil nitrification within eight typical agricultural plots across China. The current study revealed significant variations in soil potential nitrification rates (PNRs) and the diversity and composition of AOA and AOB communities across various plots. Spearman correlation analysis revealed a significant link between soil PNRs and alpha diversity, specific AOA and AOB taxa, but no significant correlation was found with amoA gene abundance. Structural equation modeling and canonical correspondence analysis showed that factors like MAT, clay content, CEC, and soil carbon and nitrogen levels significantly influenced the diversity and composition of AOA. In contrast, AOB were more significantly impacted by soil pH and carbon- and nitrogen-related nutrients, but less associated with MAP and soil clay content. Notably, soil PNRs were found to be closely linked to AOB diversity, soil pH, and ammonium nitrogen (NH4N) levels. This research highlights the contributing role of AOB group in soil nitrification and the related driving factors from agricultural practices.

Ammonia-oxidising archaea (AOA) are important microorganisms contributing towards the nitrogen flux in the environment. Unlike archaea from other major phyla, genetic tools are yet to be developed for the AOA, and identification of antibiotic resistance markers for selecting mutants is required for a genetic system. The aim of this study was to test the effects of selected antibiotics (hygromycin B, neomycin, apramycin, puromycin, novobiocin) on pure cultures of three well studied AOA strains, 'Candidatus Nitrosocosmicus franklandianus C13', Nitrososphaera viennensis EN76 and Nitrosopumilus maritimus SCM1.

Detection of the level of ammonia gas in exhaled breath provides non-invasive and fast diagnosis of kidney failure. Here, we fabricated room temperature and sensitive chemiresistive ammonia gas sensor by in situ electropolymerization and deposition of polypyrrole/sulfonated graphene oxide (PPy/SRGO) on/between gold interdigitated electrodes (Au-IDEs). The prepared sensors were characterized by using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR).

Increasing air pollutants significantly contributes to climate change, requiring innovative mitigation strategies. Microalgae provide a promising solution by absorbing CO₂ and pollutants like nitrogen oxides (NO), sulfur oxides (SO), and ammonia from agricultural and industrial emissions, while also generating biomass for biofuels and animal feed. This study investigated the effects of light intensity on the growth and biochemical composition of sp AQUAMEB-57, sp.

Methane removal is an essential step in drinking water production from methane-rich groundwaters. Conventional aeration-based stripping results in significant direct methane emissions, contributing up to one-third of a treatment plant's total carbon footprint. To address this, a full-scale trickling filter was operated for biological methane oxidation upstream of a submerged sand filter, and its performance was compared to a conventional aeration-submerged sand filtration set-up.

The electrochemical reduction of nitrate (NO) offers a promising waste-to-value strategy for synthesizing ammonia (NH), yet it involves a complex multi-interface system with several stages such as mass transport, species enrichment, and interfacial transformation. This complexity necessitates catalysts with diverse structural characteristics across multiple temporal and spatial scales. Herein, a three-in-one nanoreactor system is designed with 1D geometry, open mesochannels, and synergistic active sites for optimized NH synthesis.
