The Genomic Potentials of NOB and Comammox Nitrospira in River Sediment Are Impacted by Native Freshwater Mussels

Freshwater mussel assemblages of the Upper Mississippi River (UMR) sequester tons of ammonia- and urea-based biodeposits each day and aerate sediment through burrowing activities, thus creating a unique niche for nitrogen (N) cycling microorganisms. This study explored how mussels impact the abundan...
