An Examination of Factors Controlling the Activity of Ammonia- and Nitrite-oxidizers in Diverse Soils

Creator:

Giguere, Andrew T.

Abstract:

Nitrification is a critical step in the global nitrogen cycle involving the biological oxidation of ammonia (NH₃) to nitrite (NO₂⁻ ) and then to nitrate (NO₃⁻). The first step in nitrification is carried out by NH₃-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA), and the second by NO₂⁻-oxidizing bacteria (NOB). In addition...

Dissertation
Development and applications of a high-throughput activity assay, using the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria Nitrosomonas europaea

Creator:

Bartow, Shannon M.

Abstract:

The rising demand on freshwater resources emphasizes the benefit of biogeochemical processes that maintain clean water by removing pollutants such as excess nitrogen. The most sensitive step in the removal of nitrogen from waterways is the oxidation of ammonia, a part of nitrification, which is carried out by ammonia oxidizing...

Inhibition of the ammonia oxidizing bacteria Nitrosomonas europaea by the emerging contaminant triclosan

Creator:

Hughes, Jamie L.

Abstract:

Identifying the inhibition of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) by emerging organic contaminants is crucial due to the importance of AOB in wastewater treatment, the widespread use of antibacterial agents such as triclosan (TCS) in consumer products, and the sensitivity of N. europaea to inhibitors. Triclosan inhibition of nitrification by AOB...
