Die 2015 entdeckten #Comammox-Bakterien sind in der Lage, das stickstoffreiche #Guanidin als einzige Energie- und #Stickstoffquelle zu nutzen. Diese Bakterien produzieren im Vergleich zu anderen Nitrifizierern nur geringe Mengen des Treibhausgases #Lachgas. Diese Entdeckung könnte helfen, landwirtschaftliche #Lachgasemissionen zu reduzieren, indem gezielt Comammox-Bakterien in Böden gefördert werden.

🦠 The recent discovery of the #comammox bacterium might prove pivotal in a new and improved approach to #wastewater purification that will be more efficient according to research carried out by Pieter Blom @Radboud_uni #biology Read more:

The genome analysis in this study by Sabita Ghimire-Kafle, Matt Weaver and Annette Bollmann is a great example of combining tools in #KBase (kbase.org) and #IMG (img.jgi.doe.gov) for functional studies of #microbial and #metagenomes.
Metagenome assembly/binning in KBase and functional analysis of a resulting MAG in IMG/M (plus experiments) showed that Nitrospira sp. BO4 is a complete ammonia oxidizer (#comammox).
