Beyond efficacy: Persistence and off-target effects of three biological nitrification inhibitors in two contrasting agricultural soils

This study evaluates three biological nitrification inhibitors in two soils, finding that MBOA is the most effective with minimal off-target effects and greatest persistence.

Potential of exogenous biological nitrification inhibitor addition to improve soil nitrogen availability for crop growth.

This study evaluates the effects of exogenous biological nitrification inhibitors on barley growth, soil nitrogen dynamics, and microbial communities in an alkaline agricultural soil.

Rapid assessment of nitrification inhibitor efficacy, competitiveness, and specificity using microrespirometry

This paper introduces a microrespirometry-based workflow to rapidly assess nitrification inhibitors' efficacy, competitiveness, and specificity using oxygen consumption as a real-time readout.

Acidotolerant soil nitrite oxidiser 'Candidatus Nitrobacter laanbroekii' NHB1 alleviates constraints on growth of acidophilic soil ammonia oxidisers

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.

A new method for rapid genome classification, clustering, visualization, and novel taxa discovery from metagenome

Genome Constellation improves taxa assignment and discovers novel taxa in metagenomic datasets by clustering genomes based on k-mer similarities.
