1. Soil-living archaea: Influence of pH, carbon and nitrogen on their abundance and activity
Sammanfattning : During the last decade it has been discovered that around 2% of the soil-living prokaryotes belong to the domain Archaea. In many soils the most abundant archaeal group is the ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) that, in addition to ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), preform the first and rate-limiting step in the nitrification process.

2. Biofilms in Nitrogen Removal - Bacterial Population Dynamics and Spatial Distribution
Sammanfattning : Efficient nitrogen removal at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is necessary to avoid eutrophication of recipient waters. The most commonly used approach consists of aerobic nitrification and subsequent anaerobic denitrification resulting in the release of dinitrogen gas into the atmosphere. LÄS MER
3. Microbial communities in anammox and nitrifying biofilms
Sammanfattning : Excess of nitrogen in water bodies causes eutrophication. One important source of nitrogen is the effluent from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Nitrogen in wastewater is most commonly removed by nitrification-denitrification. LÄS MER
4. Ammonia-Oxidising Bacteria in Soil : Studies of diversity and abundance using 16S rRNA gene analysis
Sammanfattning : Nitrification is the process whereby ammonia is oxidised to nitrate. The first step of this process is carried out by the chemoautotrophic, ammonia-oxidising bacteria (AOB), which convert ammonia to nitrite. LÄS MER
5. Niche differentiation of ammonia oxidizing bacteria and archaea in managed soils
Sammanfattning : Soils offer humanity a multitude of ecosystem services, including production of food and clean drinking water, and many such services are driven by soil microbial communities. However, human activities are constantly affecting soil ecosystems through altered land use or various management strategies, and thereby influence microbial communities and their functions. LÄS MER
