Enrichment of Comammox and Nitrite-Oxidizing Nitrospira From Acidic Soils

Enrichment of Comammox and Nitrite-Oxidizing Nitrospira From Acidic Soils

In agricultural soils fertilized with a high amount of ammonium nitrogen, the pH decreases because of the oxidation of ammonia by nitrifiers. Molecular-based analyses have revealed that members of the genus Nitrospira dominate over other nitrifiers in some acidic soils. However, terrestrial Nitrospi...
