Influence of soil properties on archaeal diversity and distribution in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]
, 2014 Archaea are the least understood members of the microbial community in Antarctic mineral soils. Although their occurrence in Antarctic coastal soils has been previously documented, little is known about their distribution in soils across the McMurdo Dry ...

Expansion of Thaumarchaeota habitat range is correlated with horizontal transfer of ATPase operons. [PDF]
, 2019 Thaumarchaeota are responsible for a significant fraction of ammonia oxidation in the oceans and in soils that range from alkaline to acidic. However, the adaptive mechanisms underpinning their habitat expansion remain poorly understood.

Competition between Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea and Bacteria from Freshwater Environments. [PDF]
Appl Environ Microbiol, 2021 Nitrification is an important process in the global nitrogen cycle. The first step, ammonia oxidation to nitrite, can be carried out by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB).

Predicting gene distribution in ammonia-oxidizing archaea using phylogenetic signals. [PDF]
ISME CommunAbstract Phylogenetic conservatism of microbial traits has paved the way for phylogeny-based predictions, allowing us to move from descriptive to predictive functional microbial ecology. Here, we applied phylogenetic eigenvector mapping to predict the presence of genes indicating potential functions of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA ...

mSystems, 2021 Ammonia tolerance is a universal characteristic among the ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB); in contrast, the known species of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) have been regarded as ammonia sensitive, until the identification of the genus “Candidatus ...

Affinity informs environmental cooperation between ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing (Anammox) bacteria [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2019 Abstract Anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing (Anammox) bacteria (AnAOB) rely on nitrite supplied by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA). Affinities for ammonia and oxygen play a crucial role in AOA/AOB competition and their association with AnAOB.

Effect of Tidal Cycling Rate on the Distribution and Abundance of Nitrogen-Oxidizing Bacteria in a Bench-Scale Fill-and-Drain Bioreactor [PDF]
, 2018 Most domestic wastewater can be effectively treated for secondary uses by engineered biological systems. These systems rely on microbial activity to reduce nitrogen (N) content of the reclaimed water.
