As guanidine has been detected in human urine at concentrations between 2 and 20 μM we hypothesized that comammox microorganisms in wastewater treatment plants degrade guanidine under competitive conditions and demonstrated this experimentally.
Furthermore, we detected guanidine in faecal samples from cows, pigs, chicken and sheep and demonstrated guanidine degradation by ammonia-oxidizers in a comammox containing agricultural soil.
