Adaptive Evolution Reveals Metabolic Plasticity and Functional Redundancy in an Anaerobic Microbiome under Extreme Ammonia Stress

Ammonia toxicity represents a primary biochemical bottleneck governing microbial community structure and performance during the anaerobic digestion of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste. However, the mechanistic basis of microbial adaptation to chronic ammonia levels remains poorly characterized. In this stu...
