Differential substrate affinity and catabolite repression enable preferential use of urea by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria

W. Qin, S. P. Wei, Y. Zheng, E. Choi, X. Li, J. Johnston, X. Wan, B. Abrahamson, Z. Flinkstrom, B. Wang, H. Li, L. Hou, Q. Tao, W. W. Chlouber, X. Sun, , M. Winkler

The paper shows that ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms use different regulatory strategies for ammonia and urea, enabling coexistence by minimizing competition.

Genome-resolved metagenomics reveals abundant nitrate reducers and partitioning of nitrite usage within global oxygen deficient zones

I. H. Zhang, X. Sun, A. Jayakumar, S. G. Fortin, B. B. Ward, A. R. Babbin

The paper uses genome-resolved metagenomics to analyze 56 ODZ metagenomes, revealing that partial denitrifiers dominate nitrogen cycling and showing niche differentiation among nitrogen-cycling organisms.
