• Crenarchaeol tracks winter blooms of ammonia‐oxidizing Thaumarchaeota in the coastal North Sea (2011, background): “A particular association has been made between the occurrence of Group I Crenarchaeota, which are now believed to represent the separate phylum Thaumarchaeota (Brochier-Armanet et al. 2008; Spang et al. 2010), and genes coding for the alpha subunit of archaeal ammonia monooxygenase (amoA) (the enzym”

(2008, background): “symbiosum suggests a more distant relationship to the cultivated hyperthermophilic crenarchaea than previously recognized (Brochier-Armanet et al., 2008), and it has been suggested that the mesophilic lineages belong to a distinct, third archaeal domain, the ‘Thaumarchaeota’.”
• The Logic of Chance: The Nature and Origin of Biological Evolution (2011, background): “well-characterized Thaumarchaeota, an archaeal phylum that until recently remained hidden under the nondescript name of mesophilic Crenarchaeota, have smaller genomes but are similarly enriched with “bacterial” genes (Brochier-Armanet et al., 2008).”
• The organic geochemistry of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether lipids: A review (2013, background): “We note here that members of the Group 1 Crenarchaeota have now been reclassified into a newly defined phylum, the Thaumarchaeota (Brochier-Armanet et al., 2008; Spang et al., 2010).”
