The study revealed the significant role of comammox Nitrospira in soil nitrification, especially in acid soils, showing a positive correlation between their abundance and nitrification potential, dominating in most soil samples.
The first and limiting step of nitrification is catalyzed by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB). Recently, complete ammonia oxidizers (comammox Nitrospira) have been discovered to perform complete nitri-fication in one cell, yet their role in soil nitrification is still unclear. This study investigated the abundance and contribution of aerobic ammonia oxidizers in typical soil habitats, and assessed the role of comammox Nitrospira in ammonia-oxidizing communities. The results showed that comammox Nitrospira were dominant in 70% of the samples and their abundance displayed a significant positive correlation with nitrification potential. The median amoA gene transcription level of comammox Nitrospira exceeded that of AOA and AOB in in-situ soils. The abun-dance of comammox Nitrospira was negatively correlated with soil pH, dominating in 84% of soil samples with pH < 6.17. The results challenge the role of AOA and AOB in soils, highlighting the importance of comammox Nitrospira in soil nitrification, especially in acid soils. This work supports better understanding and regulation of the soil nitrogen cycle. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
