Decades after industrial waste stops flowing, the damage it leaves behind can keep working quietly underground. A new study ...
Life is not possible without nitrogen. There are many ways for organisms to acquire nitrogen. For example, humans eat proteins for their high nitrogen content. Most microorganisms take up nitrogen ...
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are some of the most abundant microorganisms in the ocean and play a key role in nitrogen cycling. Yet, despite their ubiquity, scientists have long puzzled over how ...
Nitrogen is one of the primary nutrients critical for the survival of all living organisms. Although nitrogen is very ...
Life is not possible without nitrogen. There are many ways for organisms to acquire nitrogen. For example, humans eat proteins for their high nitrogen content. Most microorganisms take up nitrogen ...
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) represent a phylogenetically distinct group of chemolithoautotrophs that initiate the nitrification process by converting ammonia to nitrite. Ubiquitous in soils, ...
A heat-loving archaeon capable of fixing nitrogen at a surprisingly hot 92 degrees Celsius, or 198 Fahrenheit, may represent Earth’s earliest lineages of organisms capable of nitrogen fixation, ...
