The paper Diversity and ecology of NrfA-dependent ammonifying microorganisms was published on March 9, 2024, in the journal Trends in Microbiology. Authored by Aurélien Saghaï and Sara Hallin from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, among others, this study focuses on NrfA-dependent ammonifying microorganisms. These are a diverse group of microorganisms that reduce nitrate to ammonia, significantly impacting nitrogen retention across various ecosystems. These organisms play a crucial role in the nitrogen cycle. The article discusses in detail their diversity, physiological roles, and ecological significance in terrestrial and aquatic environments.
