Environmental factors shaping the ecological niches of ammonia-oxidizing archaea [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2009 For more than 100 years it was believed that bacteria were the only group responsible for the oxidation of ammonia. However, recently, a new strain of archaea bearing a putative ammonia monooxygenase subunit A (amoA) gene and able to oxidize ammonia was ...

Global ecological pattern of ammonia-oxidizing archaea. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: The global distribution of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), which play a pivotal role in the nitrification process, has been confirmed through numerous ecological studies.

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea have more important role than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in ammonia oxidation of strongly acidic soils [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2011 Abstract Increasing evidence demonstrated the involvement of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) in the global nitrogen cycle, but the relative contributions of AOA and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) to ammonia oxidation are still in debate. Previous studies suggest that AOA would be more adapted to ammonia-limited oligotrophic conditions,

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.

Indigenous Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea in Oxic Subseafloor Oceanic Crust
mSystems, 2020 Oceanic ridge flank systems represent one of the largest and least-explored microbial habitats on Earth. Fundamental ecological questions regarding community activity, recruitment, and succession in this environment remain unanswered.

Freshwater Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea Retain amoA mRNA and 16S rRNA during Ammonia Starvation [PDF]
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.

Alcohols as inhibitors of ammonia oxidizing archaea and bacteria. [PDF]
FEMS Microbiol Lett, 2023 Abstract Ammonia oxidizers are key players in the global nitrogen cycle and are responsible for the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite, which is further oxidized to nitrate by other microorganisms. Their activity can lead to adverse effects on some human-impacted environments, including water pollution through leaching of nitrate and ...

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea possess a wide range of cellular ammonia affinities. [PDF]
ISME J, 2022 Abstract Nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrate, is an essential process in the biogeochemical nitrogen cycle. The first step of nitrification, ammonia oxidation, is performed by three, often co-occurring guilds of chemolithoautotrophs: ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), archaea (AOA), and complete ammonia oxidizers ...

Activity-based labelling of ammonia- and alkane-oxidizing microorganisms including ammonia-oxidizing archaea [PDF]
ISME Communications, 2023 Abstract Recently, an activity-based labelling protocol for the in situ detection of ammonia- and alkane-oxidizing bacteria became available. This functional tagging technique enabled targeted studies of these environmentally widespread functional groups, but it failed to capture ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA). Since their first discovery, AOA
