Dark inorganic carbon fixation sustains the functioning of benthic deep‐sea ecosystems (2013, background): “…have suggested that chemoautotrophic processes that involve aerobic ammonia oxidation in marine ecosystems are mainly due to archaeal rather than bacterial assemblages [Francis et al., 2005, 2007; Wuchter et al., 2006; Santoro and Casciotti, 2011; Santoro et al., 2011; Yakimov et al., 2011].”
Towards a better understanding of microbial carbon flux in the sea (2008, background): “This also implies that areas with suboxic conditions will increase in the future, with substantial consequences for the global nitrogen cycle as currently 30 to 50% of nitrogen-loss in the global ocean is mediated in the oxygen minimum zones (Francis et al. 2007).”
Relative contributions of archaea and bacteria to aerobic ammonia oxidation in the environment. (2008, background): “The accumulation of evidence for the existence and importance of mesophilic archaea in ammonia oxidation has had a significant impact on the contemporary view of nitrification (Francis et al., 2007).”
Quantification of ammonia oxidation rates and ammonia‐oxidizing archaea and bacteria at high resolution in the Gulf of California and eastern tropical North Pacific Ocean (2012, background): “…is a central process in the oceanic nitrogen (N) cycle that acts as a biogeochemical bridge between N inputs from the atmosphere via N2 fixation and N losses via the anaerobic processes of denitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) (Francis et al. 2007; Canfield et al. 2010a).”
Contributions of anoxygenic and oxygenic phototrophy and chemolithotrophy to carbon and oxygen fluxes in aquatic environments. (2009, background): “…oxygenic and anoxygenic photolithotrophs and chemolithotrophs, organisms capable of photochemical energy transformation but with no clear evidence of the capacity for autotrophic inorganic carbon assimilation are also considered (Falkowski & Raven 2007, Francis et al. 2007, Moran & Miller 2007).”
Microbial oceanography of the dark ocean's pelagic realm (2009, background): “2008b. Latitudinal trends of Crenarchaeota and Bacteria in the meso- and bathypelagic waters of the North Atlantic.”
Production of oceanic nitrous oxide by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (2012, positive): “, 2010) for the oceanic nitrogen (N) cycle, which has been overlooked until recently (Francis et al., 2007; Schleper, 2010).”
Autotrophic Ammonia Removal Processes: Ecology to Technology (2012, background): “Similarly, in marine environments with low organic contents, ANAMMOX contributes to up to 20–50% of nitrogen production through ammonia oxidation (Strous and Jetten, 2004), while in the soil ecosystem archeal nitrification is now evolving as the major player for autotrophic ammonia oxidation (Franci”
Ammonia concentration determines differential growth of ammonia-oxidising archaea and bacteria in soil microcosms (2011, background): “Recent studies have provided strong evidence of a major role for organisms within the domain Archaea in the global nitrogen cycle, oxidising ammonia to nitrite in the first stage of nitrification (Francis et al., 2007; Prosser and Nicol, 2008).”
New perspectives in benthic deep-sea microbial ecology (2015, background): “Different studies have suggested that chemoautotrophic processes that involve aerobic ammonia oxidation in marine ecosystems are mainly due to archaeal rather than bacterial assemblages ( Francis et al .”
