Assessing the importance of nitric acid and ammonia for particle growth in the polluted boundary layer

Andrea Baccarini, Imad El Haddad, Lubna Dada, Houssni Lamkaddam

Aerosols formed and grown by gas-to-particle processes are a major contributor to smog and haze in megacities, despite the competition between growth and loss rates. Rapid growth rates from ammonium nitrate formation have the potential to sustain particle ...

Coupled carbon and nitrogen cycling regulates the cnidarian–algal symbiosis

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Nils Rädecker

Efficient nutrient recycling underpins the ecological success of cnidarian-algal symbioses in oligotrophic waters. In these symbioses, nitrogen limitation restricts the growth of algal endosymbionts in hospite and stimulates their release of photosynthates ...

Active lithoautotrophic and methane-oxidizing microbial community in an anoxic, sub-zero, and hypersaline High Arctic spring

Ianina Altshuler

Lost Hammer Spring, located in the High Arctic of Nunavut, Canada, is one of the coldest and saltiest terrestrial springs discovered to date. It perennially discharges anoxic (

Nitrate removal and young stream water fractions at the catchment scale

Paolo Benettin, Li Li

Despite extensive research on nitrate export and removal, nutrient contamination remains a major threat to water bodies worldwide. At the local scale, nitrate removal is governed by biogeochemical conditions that vary in space and time, making integration ...

Heterotrophic Foraminifera Capable of Inorganic Nitrogen Assimilation

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Nitrogen availability often limits biological productivity in marine systems, where inorganic nitrogen, such as ammonium is assimilated into the food web by bacteria and photoautotrophic eukaryotes. Recently, ammonium assimilation was observed in kleptopla ...

Response of N2O production rate to ocean acidification in the western North Pacific

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider

Ocean acidification, induced by the increase in anthropogenic CO2 emissions, has a profound impact on marine organisms and biogeochemical processes1. The response of marine microbial activities to ocean acidification might play a crucial role in the future ...

Lateral variations and vertical structure of the microbial methane cycle in the sediment of Lake Onego (Russia)

Natacha Tofield-Pasche, Nathalie Dubois

The significance of methane production by lakes to the global production of greenhouse gas is well acknowledged while underlying processes sustaining the lacustrine methane budget remain largely unknown. We coupled biogeochemical data to functional and phy ...

Kinetics and mechanisms of nitrate and ammonium formation during ozonation of dissolved organic nitrogen

Urs von Gunten, Glen Andrew De Vera

Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is an emerging concern in oxidative water treatment because it exerts oxidant demand and may form nitrogenous oxidation/disinfection by-products. In this study, we investigated the reactions of ozone with DON with a special ...

Role of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in micropollutant removal from wastewater with aerobic granular sludge

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Jonas Margot, Samuel Lochmatter

Nitrifying wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are more efficient than non-nitrifying WWTPs to remove several micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides. This may be related to the activity of nitrifying organisms, such as ammonia-oxidizing bac ...

NanoSIMS applied to the study of foraminifera

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

NanoSIMS (Nanoscale Secondary-Ion Mass Spectrometry) is a powerful analytical technique that allows quantitative, subcellular imaging of incorporation and transfer of isotopically labeled compounds and metabolites in biological tissue (Hoppe et al., 2013). ...
