This study investigates how two nitrification inhibitors affect ammonia-oxidizing archaea, revealing distinct physiological mechanisms.

The paper identifies Nitrosocosmicus species as commensals in the human skin microbiome through cultivation and genomic analysis, showing their adaptation to skin environments.

This study identifies aerotrophy as a primary energy source in caves, revealing microbial use of atmospheric trace gases for continuous primary production.

This study investigates the metabolic response of Nitrososphaera viennensis to carbon limitation using a thermodynamic model and experimental proteomic and metabolomic analysis.

This paper introduces a high-throughput screening platform for biological nitrification inhibitors using soil-relevant ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms and validates it with known inhibitors.

This study shows that deleting the type III-B CRISPR-Cas system in Saccharolobus solfataricus increases growth rate but reduces adaptability to carbon source changes, with upregulated genes related to energy metabolism and transport.
