This study characterizes the growth of Nitrobacter strain NHB1 under acidic conditions and shows its role in enhancing ammonia oxidation by acidophilic archaea in co-culture.

This study shows heatwave conditions alter active nitrifying communities and their viruses in tidal flats and agricultural soils, affecting nutrient cycling.

The paper presents the first genomic catalogue of viruses and mobile genetic elements associated with Nitrososphaeria, revealing novel viral families and insights into their evolution and adaptation.

The paper investigates how soil pH affects phage communities infecting two closely related Bacillus strains across a pH gradient, finding that phage composition varies with pH but pH alone does not block phage distribution to individual hosts.

This study shows phosphate amendment alters RNA virus community composition in soil after rewetting, with 60% of responding viruses belonging to unknown clades and significant impacts on bacterial populations.

The paper characterizes dsDNA viruses infecting nitrifying archaea and bacteria in soil using targeted enrichment and metagenomic analysis, revealing novel viral lineages and host-virus interactions.
