Alkaliphilic microorganisms can thrive in extraordinarily diverse ecosystems, such as microniches in seemingly ordinary environments, as well as large areas that can be saturated with salts. Indeed, ...

The association between soil heterotrophic nitrification and plant nitrogen (N) uptake remains poorly understood. Here, we used 15 N isotope tracing and numerical analysis to quantify the rate of ...

Smart citations by scite.ai include citation statements extracted from the full text of the citing article. The number of the statements may be higher than the number of citations provided by ACS ...

Understanding the nitrogen cycle is key to grasping concepts in biology, ecology, and environmental science. In this article, we’ll walk through the different steps of the nitrogen cycle, the key ...

ABSTRACT: Six kg whole wheat straw (Claire variety) samples were taken randomly from a small bale and either kept dry (Soaking 0:1) or soaked (Soaking 2:1) in tap water (2 units’ water: 1 of straw) ...

Nitrogen is one of the main macronutrients required for the survival of plants. It is a major part of amino acids and nucleic acids, essential for protein formation, and aids in ATP synthesis and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a hierarchical 3D dandelion flower-like gallium nitride microsphere via the ammonothermal-conjugated ammonification method for practical humidity sensors. We have ...

We tested the ecosystem functions of microbial diversity with a focus on ammonification (involving diverse microbial taxa) and nitrification (involving only specialized microbial taxa) in forest ...

Ah, the smell of salt air as you drive by the marsh toward the ocean! Where does that unique scent come from? It originates from the tiniest members of the wetlands ecosystem. These one-celled living ...

Denitrification and respiratory ammonification are two competing, energy-conserving NO3−/NO2− reduction pathways that have major biogeochemical consequences for N retention, plant growth and climate.

Amino acid sequences were transferred into the MEGA 6.0 software suite, and aligned using CLUSTAL W. Amino acid sequences of NapA were downloaded from GenBank. The aligned amino acid sequence data ...
