Free ammonia stress rewires microbial signaling networks and constrains metabolic cooperation in oxygenic photogranules
Abstract Free ammonia (FA) is a prevalent chemical inhibitor in wastewater ecosystems, yet its ecological impacts on microbial communication and cooperation remain poorly understood. Here, we demonstrated that FA stress restructured the community function of oxygenic photogranules (OPGs) by rewiring signaling-associate...
