Production of nitrous oxide by ammonia-oxidizing chemoautotrophic microorganisms in soil.

abstract：:Recent declines in bumble bee populations are of great concern and have prompted critical evaluations of the role of pathogen introductions and host resistance in bee health. One factor that may influence host resilience when facing infection is the gut microbiota. Previous experiments with Bombus terrestris, a Europe...
