This study identifies AOA-infecting viruses in nitrifying soils and shows their potential to influence host physiology through metabolic gene transfer.

The paper examines how soil pH affects viral community structure at local and global scales, finding that pH significantly influences both prokaryotic and viral communities.

The paper determines ammonia oxidation kinetic properties of 12 AOA strains, finding they have a wide range of substrate affinities, challenging previous assumptions about their uniformity.

This study identifies active host-virus interactions in methane-fueled soil microbial networks by tracing carbon transfer from hosts to viruses.

The paper discusses the misuse of potential rate assays in soil microbiology, highlighting conceptual issues and using nitrification rates as an example.

This study compares the in vitro activity of novel and established nitrification inhibitors, finding that EQ derivatives are more effective against AOA than AOB or NOB.
