An investigation of carbon and nitrogen metabolism through a genomic analysis of the genus Nitrobacter

Creator:

Starkenburg, Shawn R.

Abstract:

The chemolithoautotrophic nitrite oxidizing bacteria (NOB) participate in the biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen by catalyzing and conserving energy from the oxidation of nitrite (NO₂-) to nitrate (NO₃-) via a nitrite oxidoreductase (NXR). The main objective of this work was to comparatively annotate and analyze the genome sequences of Nitrobacter winogradskyi...

Community profiles of ammonia oxidizers across high-elevation forest-to-meadow transects

Creator:

Mintie, Ann

Abstract:

In recent years considerable interest has been shown in the diversity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in soil communities. The majority of the research has been carried out in Northern Europe where soils have received high atmospheric inputs of nitrogen over the past two centuries. In contrast, although much work has been...
