This study shows that #acidification increases substrate affinity in ammonia-oxidizing #microbes, partly offsetting reduced ammonia availability. Stronger responses in #archaea than #bacteria explain contrasting #ecosystem reactions.

How ammonia oxidizers 🦠 tackle acidification:
📉 Substrate #NH3 drops due to low pH.
📈 #Affinity increases to compensate—especially in #AOA!
This “affinity-availability” trade-off explains microbial resilience in our changing oceans 🌊.

It is a great privilege for our nitrification team to host this fantastic group of nitrogen-cycle researchers at @cemess.bsky.social @univie.ac.at for the 28th European Nitrogen Cycle Conference.
Some impressions from tonight's conference dinner.

The Nitrification/Imaging/Interactions research group @cemess.bsky.social @univie.ac.at explores the Donau-Auen National Park together. Dinghy trips to secluded beaches and hikes to enchanted castles. Thank you all for being such a great team! #BestGroupEver
