New Nature article shows growth of comammox nitrifiers on guanidine
This unexpected finding revealed a fourth growth substrate for ammonia oxidizers and offers new insights into niche partitioning of nitrifiers, opportunities for targeted isolation of comammox microbes, and opportunities for a more sustainable agriculture.
This study led by the DOME nitrification group involved many members of the FWF Cluster of Excellence at CeMESS as well as scientists from the UFZ in Leipzig and Aalborg University.
