Similar microbial communities found on two distant seafloor basalts
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 ...

Geographic distribution of archaeal ammonia oxidizing ecotypes in the Atlantic Ocean
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 In marine ecosystems, Thaumarchaeota are most likely the major ammonia oxidizers. While ammonia concentrations vary by about two orders of magnitude in the oceanic water column, archaeal ammonia oxidizers (AOA) vary by only one order of magnitude from ...

Lack of 13C-label incorporation suggests low turnover rates of thaumarchaeal intact polar tetraether lipids in sediments from the Iceland shelf [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Thaumarchaeota are amongst the most abundant microorganisms in aquatic environments, however, their metabolism in marine sediments is still debated. Labeling studies in marine sediments have previously been undertaken, but focused on complex organic ...

Low genome content diversity of marine planktonic Thaumarchaeota
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2016 Summary Members of Thaumarchaeota are responsible for much of the ammonia oxidation occurring in the ocean. Recent studies showed that marine Thaumarchaeota have versatile metabolic capabilities, but sequencing additional genomes has not significantly increased the gene content ascribed to this group.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2628-2641, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are widespread in terrestrial ecosystems, raising global concerns that they may disrupt soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling and undermine agroecosystem contributions to climate mitigation.

Archaeal Tetraether Lipids as Tracers for Past Marine Environmental Change
Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Archaea are single‐celled microorganisms that are abundant in marine environments and play a key role in the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Archaea can biosynthesize a wide variety of isoprenoid membrane lipids, including isoprenoid glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraethers (isoGDGTs).

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

Diversity and seasonal dynamics of airborne archaea [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Archaea are widespread and abundant in many terrestrial and aquatic environments, and are thus outside extreme environments, accounting for up to ~10% of the prokaryotes.

Light and temperature control the seasonal distribution of thaumarchaeota in the South Atlantic bight [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2018 Abstract Mid-summer peaks in the abundance of Thaumarchaeota and nitrite concentration observed on the Georgia, USA, coast could result from in situ activity or advection of populations from another source. We collected data on the distribution of Thaumarchaeota, ammonia-oxidizing betaproteobacteria (AOB), Nitrospina, environmental ...
