• Different roles of rhizosphere effect and long-term fertilization in the activity and community structure of ammonia oxidizers in a calcareous fluvo-aquic soil (2013, background): “Microbial ammonia oxidation is the first and rate-limiting step of the nitrification process and is therefore believed to play a key role in the global nitrogen cycle by influencing the availability of fertilizer, nitrogen leaching of NO3 and NO2 , and release of N2O and N2 gas (Kowalchuk and Stephe”
• Partial nitrification—operational parameters and microorganisms involved (2007, background): “The distribution, diversity and ecology of the ammonia-oxidizers are given in details in a recent review publication (Kowalchuk and Stephen 2001).”
• Diversity and composition of tropical soil nitrifiers across a plant diversity gradient and among land‐use types (2004, background): “Plant diversity could also change soil moisture, temperature, or pH, factors that have all been observed to alter AOB diversity and/or community composition ( Kowalchuk & Stephen 2001 ).”
• Nitrous oxide emissions from grazed grassland as affected by a nitrification inhibitor, dicyandiamide, and relationships with ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea (2010, background): “Until recently, the first ratelimiting step of nitrification, the oxidization of NH3 to hydroxylamine, is thought to be carried out mainly by autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) of the βand γ-subgroups of proteobacteria (Purkhold et al. 2000; Kowalchuk and Stephen 2001).”
• The unseen majority: soil microbes as drivers of plant diversity and productivity in terrestrial ecosystems. (2008, background): “…play key roles in ecosystems and influence a large number of important ecosystem processes, including nutrient acquisition (Smith & Read 1997; Sprent 2001), nitrogen cycling (Tiedje 1988; Kowalchuk & Stephen 2001), carbon cycling (Hogberg et al. 2001) and soil formation (Rillig & Mummey 2006).”
• Bacteria rather than Archaea dominate microbial ammonia oxidation in an agricultural soil. (2009, background): “Nitrosospira species have often been detected in natural environments (Hastings et al., 1997; Kowalchuk and Stephen, 2001 ), while Nitrosomonas species are believed to occur mainly in habitats with high ammonium concentrations (Hastings et al., 1997; Taylor and Bottomley, 2006).”
• Diversity of ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) genes across environmental gradients in Chesapeake Bay sediments (2003, background): “…distribution of AOB, most molecular studies of these organisms in natural environments have focused upon the retrieval and analysis of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences for characterizing the diversity and structure of nitrifying communities (recently reviewed by Kowalchuk & Stephen, 2001).”
• New processes and players in the nitrogen cycle: the microbial ecology of anaerobic and archaeal ammonia oxidation (2007, background): “Ammonia oxidation is typically thought to be an obligatory aerobic, chemoautotrophic process restricted to just a few groups within the Proteobacteria (Kowalchuk and Stephen, 2001).”
• Dark inorganic carbon fixation sustains the functioning of benthic deep‐sea ecosystems (2013, background): “Nitrifying prokaryotes belong to both the Bacteria (i.e., the b-subgroup and g-subgroup of Proteobacteria [Kowalchuk and Stephen, 2001; Arp and Stein, 2003]) and Archaea [Venter et al., 2004; Könneke et al., 2005; Hallam et al., 2006a, 2006b;Martens-Habbena et al., 2009] domains.”
• The role of microorganisms at different stages of ecosystem development for soil formation (2013, background): “…plants are able to actively influence their rhizosphere community (Singh et al., 2004) by changing their exudation pattern or by actively excreting substances like tannins, polyphenolic substances or monoterpenes (Briones et al., 2003; Kowalchuk and Stephen, 2001; Ward et al., 1997; Cocking, 2003).”
• Linking Diversity and Stable Isotope Fractionation in Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria (2002, background): “The diversity of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria has been explored through morphological, physiological, inmmunological, and genetic features (Ward and Carlucci 1985; Koops et al. 1991; Bothe et al. 2000; Kowalchuk and Stephen 2001).”
• Long-term impact of fertilization on activity and composition of bacterial communities and metabolic guilds in agricultural soil (2007, background): “The AOB have been suggested as model organisms in microbial ecology (Kowalchuk and Stephen, 2001) and are often used as indicators of soil perturbations (Hastings et al.”
