Comammox bacterial preference for urea influences its interactions with aerobic nitrifiers.

K. J. Vilardi, J. Johnston, Z. Dai, I. Cotto, E. Tuttle, A. Patterson, A. Stubbins, K. Pieper, A. Pinto

This study investigates how nitrogen source and loading conditions affect interactions between comammox bacteria and aerobic nitrifiers in continuous flow reactors, finding that urea promotes comammox abundance while ammonia inhibits it.

Co-occurrence and cooperation between comammox and anammox bacteria in a full-scale attached growth municipal wastewater treatment process.

K. J. Vilardi, I. Cotto, M. Bachmann, M. Parsons, S. Klaus, C. Wilson, C. Bott, K. Pieper, A. Pinto

The paper reports co-occurrence and cooperation between comammox and anammox bacteria in a full-scale wastewater treatment system, showing dissolved oxygen-dependent nitrogen loss.

Low diversity and microdiversity of comammox bacteria in wastewater systems suggests wastewater-specific adaptation within the Ca. Nitrospira nitrosa cluster.

I. Cotto, K. J. Vilardi, L. Huo, E. C. Fogarty, W. Khunjar, C. Wilson, H. De Clippeleir, K. Gilmore, E. Bailey, S. J. Lücker, A. J. Pinto

The paper compares diversity and microdiversity of comammox bacteria with strict nitrifiers in wastewater systems, finding low diversity and specific adaptations in comammox populations.

Comammox Nitrospira bacteria outnumber canonical nitrifiers irrespective of nitrogen source and availability

K. J. Vilardi, I. Cotto, M. S. Rivera, Z. Dai, C. L. Anderson, A. Pinto

The paper investigates nitrifier population dynamics in drinking water biofilters, finding comammox bacteria dominate over canonical nitrifiers regardless of nitrogen source.
