Selective enrichment and metagenomic analysis of three novel comammox Nitrospira in a urine-fed membrane bioreactor.
Article in ISME communications, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The discovery of complete ammonia-oxidizing (comammox) Nitrospira has added an important new process to the microbial nitrogen cycle. While comammox Nitrospira have been detected in various ecosystems, only few studies have achieved their enrichment over other canonical nitrifiers. Here, we obtained a selective enrichment of comammox Nitrospira in a urine-fed membrane bioreactor in less than 200 days. By using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and quantitative PCR of the functional marker gene amoA, we observed a dominance (up to 30% relative abundance) of comammox Nitrospira over ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea. Furthermore, the complete genomes of three new clade A comammox Nitrospira were recovered by metagenomics. These three strains were divergent from previously reported comammox species according to comparative genome and amoA-based analyses. In addition to the key genes for ammonia and nitrite oxidation, the three recovered genomes contained a complete urea utilization pathway. Our findings suggest that the urea present in the urine media played a significant role in the selective enrichment of these novel comammox Nitrospira, and support the diversity and versatility of their metabolism.
