Nitrifying bacteria mediate aerobic ammonia oxidation and urea hydrolysis within the Grand River
Ammonia oxidation is an important process for decreasing ammonia concentrations in wastewater-impacted rivers. Ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA) are re sponsible for ammonia oxidation, which is the first step of the nitrification process. Nitrification and urea hydrolysis were monitored in sediment and water column samples in the Grand River (Ontario), and nitrification inhibit...
متن کاملAutotrophic ammonia oxidation at low pH through urea hydrolysis.
Ammonia oxidation in laboratory liquid batch cultures of autotrophic ammonia oxidizers rarely occurs at pH values less than 7, due to ionization of ammonia and the requirement for ammonium transport rather than diffusion of ammonia. Nevertheless, there is strong evidence for autotrophic nitrification in acid soils, which may be carried out by ammonia oxidizers capable of using urea as a source ...
متن کاملAMMONIA OXIDATION AT LOW pH BY ATTACHED POPULATIONS OF NITRIFYING BACTERIA
Biofilm populations of Nitrosomonas europaea were formed in continuous flow sand columns supplied with defined inorganic medium containing 50 pg NH:-N ml-‘. Steady-state nitrite concentrations in effluent from the columns decreased as the pH of the inflowing medium was reduced but ammonia oxidation occurred at a pH value of 6, even though the pH minimum for growth of the organism in liquid batc...
متن کاملRelative contributions of archaea and bacteria to aerobic ammonia oxidation in the environment.
Traditionally, organisms responsible for major biogeochemical cycling processes have been determined by physiological characterization of environmental isolates in laboratory culture. Molecular techniques have, however, confirmed the widespread occurrence of abundant bacterial and archaeal groups with no cultivated representative, making it difficult to determine their ecosystem function. Until...
متن کاملMicrobial oxidation of dispersed graphite by nitrifying bacteria 2011.2.
A facile and green microbial method to produce graphite oxide nanosheets and nanoparticles is described. The obtained graphite oxide nanosheets have few layers with 0.7-1.5 nm height and 50-300 nm size. The carbon nanoparticles possess the size of 20-60 nm and the height of 2-4 nm.
