Similar microbial communities found on two distant seafloor basalts [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015 The oceanic crust forms two thirds of the Earth’s surface and hosts a large phylogenetic and functional diversity of microorganisms. While advances have been made in the sedimentary realm, our understanding of the igneous rock portion as a microbial ...

Comparative Genomics of Thaumarchaeota From Deep-Sea Sponges Reveal Their Niche Adaptation
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Thaumarchaeota account for a large portion of microbial symbionts in deep-sea sponges and are even dominant in some cases. In this study, we investigated three new sponge-associated Thaumarchaeota from the deep West Pacific Ocean.

Different seasonality of pelagic and benthic Thaumarchaeota in the North Sea [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 We have examined the spatial and seasonal distribution of Thaumarchaeota in the water column and sediment of the southern North Sea using the specific intact polar lipid (IPL) hexose-phosphohexose (HPH) crenarchaeol, as well as thaumarchaeotal 16S rRNA ...

Genomic Insights Into the Lifestyles of Thaumarchaeota Inside Sponges
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Sponges are among the oldest metazoans and their success is partly due to their abundant and diverse microbial symbionts. They are one of the few animals that have Thaumarchaeota symbionts.

Novel insights into the Thaumarchaeota in the deepest oceans: their metabolism and potential adaptation mechanisms [PDF]
Microbiome, 2020 Background Marine Group I (MGI) Thaumarchaeota, which play key roles in the global biogeochemical cycling of nitrogen and carbon (ammonia oxidizers), thrive in the aphotic deep sea with massive populations.

An Analysis of Thaumarchaeota Populations from the Northern Gulf of Mexico
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 We sampled Thaumarchaeota populations in the northern Gulf of Mexico, including shelf waters under the Mississippi River outflow plume that are subject to recurrent hypoxia.

Thermoplasmatales and Methanogens: Potential Association with the Crenarchaeol Production in Chinese Soils [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Crenarchaeol is a unique isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether (iGDGT) lipid, which is only identified in cultures of ammonia-oxidizing Thaumarchaeota. However, the taxonomic origins of crenarchaeol have been debated recently. The archaeal

Analysis of composition and structure of coastal to mesopelagic bacterioplankton communities in the northern Gulf of Mexico [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 16S rRNA gene amplicons were pyrosequenced to assess bacterioplankton community composition, diversity and phylogenetic community structure for 17 stations in the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGoM) sampled in March 2010.

Metagenomic characterization of a novel non-ammonia-oxidizing Thaumarchaeota from hadal sediment [PDF]
MicrobiomeBackground The hadal sediment, found at an ocean depth of more than 6000 m, is geographically isolated and under extremely high hydrostatic pressure, resulting in a unique ecosystem.

Nitrification and growth of autotrophic nitrifying bacteria and Thaumarchaeota in the coastal North Sea [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Nitrification and the associated growth of autotrophic nitrifiers, as well as the contributions of bacteria and Thaumarchaeota to total autotrophic C-fixation by nitrifiers were investigated in the Dutch coastal North Sea from October 2007 to March 2008.
