Extended Data Figure 8. Reciprocal feeding of ammonia- and nitrite-oxidizers during cyanate conversion.

Extended Data Figure 8

As activities differed between biological replicates (as often observed for nitrifying strains that are very sensitive to rubber stoppers, contaminants on glass material etc) data are displayed for each replicate individually. Concentration changes of cyanate, ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate displayed as bar (left) and line charts (right) during the growth of the cyanase-negative ammonium-oxidizing bacterium Nitrosomonas nitrosa Nm90 and the cyanase-positive nitrite-oxidizer N. moscoviensis in a mineral medium containing 1 mM cyanate (upper panel) or 1 mM cyanate and 1mM ammonium as source of energy and reductant (lower panel). Data points are mean values, error bars show 1 SD of three technical replicates.
