Emerging concepts on microbial processes in the bathypelagic ocean-ecology, biogeochemistry, and genomics (2010, background): “DIC fixation by Crenarcheota might be fueled by the oxidation of ammonium (i.e., nitrification; Könneke et al., 2005; Wuchter et al., 2006; Beman et al., 2008), although it has yet to be demonstrated directly that such coupling exists in bathypelagic waters (Reinthaler et al., 2010).”
Community structure of marine bacterioplankton: patterns, networks, and relationships to function (2008, neutral): “Yet even that was not as convincing as the isolation of a Marine Group I crenarcheon , later named Nitrosopumilus maritimus, from the rocky substrate of a marine aquarium, where it grew autotrophically by the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite (Konneke et al. 2005).”
Microbial oceanography of the dark ocean's pelagic realm (2009, background): “The only Crenarchaea in culture thus far oxidizes ammonia as energy source (Könneke et al. 2005), and hence harbors the amoA gene, encoding one of the key enzymes, ammonia monooxygenase, common to all nitrifiers.”
Nitrification in Marine Systems (2008, neutral): “(Konnecke et al., 2005).”
Insights into the resistance and resilience of the soil microbial community. (2013, background): “For example, functional redundancy was assumed to be low among microorganisms performing the first step of nitrification until the finding in 2005 that microorganisms belonging to another domain, the crenarchaea were also capable to oxidize ammonium into nitrate (Könneke et al., 2005).”
Microbial Communities of Deep Marine Subsurface Sediments: Molecular and Cultivation Surveys (2006, background): “Recently, the first isolate of this group was described as an aerobic ammonia oxidizer with the capability for autotrophic growth (Könneke et al. 2005).”
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea have more important role than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in ammonia oxidation of strongly acidic soils (2011, background): “Recent progress in ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) studies (Venter et al., 2004; Könneke et al., 2005; Hallam et al., 2006) greatly suggested their putative contributions to the global nitrogen cycle by possessing the potential capacity to oxidize ammonia (Nicol and Schleper, 2006), and phylogenetic”
Growth, activity and temperature responses of ammonia-oxidizing archaea and bacteria in soil microcosms. (2008, background): “The ability of nonthermophilic crenarchaea to oxidize ammonia was confirmed by cultivation of the first non-thermophilic crenarchaeon, Nitrosopumilus maritimus, a chemolithotrophic marine ammonia oxidizer (Könneke et al., 2005), which possesses amoA, amoB and amoC gene homologues with sequences simi”
Inter‐annual recurrence of archaeal assemblages in the coastal NW Mediterranean Sea (Blanes Bay Microbial Observatory) (2010, background): “In Blanes Bay, winter Group I sequences were closely related to the only cultivated planktonic marine archaeum (i.e., Nitrosopumilus maritimus; Könneke et al. 2005).”
Quantitative analyses of the abundance and composition of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and ammonia-oxidizing archaea of a Chinese upland red soil under long-term fertilization practices. (2007, background): “Recent studies based on metagenomic and cultivation methods have revealed the existence of an ammoniaoxidizing archaeon (AOA) containing all three ammonia monooxygenase subunits (amoA, amoB and amoC) (Venter et al., 2004; Könneke et al., 2005; Treusch et al., 2005).”
