Linking 16S rRNA Gene Classification to amoA Gene Taxonomy Reveals Environmental Distribution of Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaeal Clades in Peatland Soils [PDF]
mSystems, 2021 A highly resolved taxonomy for ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) based on the alpha subunit of ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) was recently established, which uncovered novel environmental patterns of AOA, challenging previous generalizations.

The ecological dichotomy of ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria in the hyper-arid soils of the Antarctic Dry Valleys [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 The McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica are considered to be one of the most physically and chemically extreme terrestrial environments on the Earth. However, little is known about the organisms involved in nitrogen transformations in these environments ...

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 All known ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) belong to the phylum Thaumarchaeota within the domain Archaea. AOA possess the diagnostic amoA gene (encoding the alpha subunit of ammonia monooxygenase) and produce lipid biomarker thaumarchaeol.

NITRIFICATION AND NITRIFYING BACTERIA IN A COASTAL MICROBIAL MAT [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The first step of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite, can be performed by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) or ammonium-oxidizing bacteria (AOB).

Long-term impacts of disturbance on nitrogen-cycling bacteria in a New England salt marsh [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 Recent studies on the impacts of disturbance on microbial communities indicate communities show differential responses to disturbance, yet our understanding of how different microbial communities may respond to and recover from disturbance is still ...

Nitrous oxide emissions from ephemeral wetland soils are correlated with microbial community composition [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011 Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential far exceeding that of CO2. Soil N2O emissions are a product of two microbially mediated processes: nitrification and denitrification.

Genetic and transcriptional profiles of ammonia oxidizing communities in Bohai sediments: abundance, activity, and environmental correlations [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyAmmonia oxidation, a crucial part in nitrogen cycle, is thought to be jointly driven by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB), and complete ammonia oxidation (comammox) in the ocean.

Temperature responses of ammonia-oxidizing prokaryotes in freshwater sediment microcosms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In order to investigate the effects of temperature on the abundances and community compositions of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB), lake microcosms were constructed and incubated at 15°C, 25°C and 35°C for 40 days, respectively ...
