Diversity, Physiology, and Niche Differentiation of Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2012
ABSTRACT Nitrification, the aerobic oxidation of ammonia to nitrate via nitrite, has been suggested to have been a central part of the global biogeochemical nitrogen cycle since the oxygenation of Earth. The cultivation of several ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) as well as the discovery that archaeal ammonia monooxygenase (

Production of oceanic nitrous oxide by ammonia-oxidizing archaea [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2012
The recent finding that microbial ammonia oxidation in the ocean is performed by archaea to a greater extent than by bacteria has drastically changed the view on oceanic nitrification.

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in six full-scale wastewater treatment bioreactors [PDF]

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2011
In this study, dideoxy sequencing and 454 high-throughput sequencing were used to analyze diversities of the ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) genes and the 16S rRNA genes of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) in six municipal wastewater treatment plants.

Ammonia oxidizers offset acidification stress via adaptive substrate affinity in aquatic ecosystems

Nature Communications
Ammonia oxidation, a critical nitrogen cycle process, exhibits contradictory responses to aquatic acidification, and the underlying mechanism remains unresolved. Here, through pH manipulation experiments across diverse ecosystems and with a model ammonia-

The Role of Iron‐Hyponitrite Intermediates in Biology and Insights From Synthetic Model Complexes

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Despite the difference in active site architecture, NO reduction by different NOR enzymes is expected to be linked by a common intermediate: hyponitrite (N2O22−). However, experimentally, very little is known about the coordination chemistry of iron with hyponitrite and the expected Fe‐hyponitrite intermediates.

Microbial communities and functional diversity in seafood

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Functional diversity encompasses ecosystem processes that enhance adaptability to environmental change. This study explores the diversity of microorganisms associated with seafood. In this paper, we present our knowledge of microbial diversity in relation to seafood.

Abundance and composition of ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria and ammonia‐oxidizing archaea communities of an alkaline sandy loam [PDF]

Environmental Microbiology, 2008
Summary The abundance and composition of soil ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and ammonia‐oxidizing archaea (AOA) communities under different long‐term (17 years) fertilization practices were investigated using real‐time polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE).

Freshwater Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea Retain amoA mRNA and 16S rRNA during Ammonia Starvation

Life, 2015
In their natural habitats, microorganisms are often exposed to periods of starvation if their substrates for energy generation or other nutrients are limiting.

Immobilization of active ammonia-oxidizing archaea in hydrogel beads

npj Clean Water, 2021
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are major players in the nitrogen cycle but their cultivation represents a major challenge due to their slow growth rate and limited tendency to form biofilms. In this study, AOA was embedded in small (~2.5 mm) and large (~
