Food, feed, fiber, and bioenergy: The demand for agricultural raw materials is rising.
Newly Discovered Ability of Comammox Bacteria Could Help Reduce Nitrous Oxide Emissions in Agriculture
An international research team led by the Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science (CeMESS) at the University of Vienna has discovered that comammox bacteria, first identified by them in 2015, can grow using guanidine, a nitrogen-rich organic compound, as their sole energy and nitrogen source.
