Alkalinity change induces succession of heterotrophic and autotrophic nitrifying bacterial communities: Comprehensive insights on the mechanism.

Heterotrophic nitrification (HN) and autotrophic nitrification (AN) are the two known pathways involved in aerobic biological ammonia removal. Ammonia, a common substrate, is used by the two bacterial functional groups. However, the key factors invol…
