Beyond the Calvin cycle: autotrophic carbon fixation in the ocean. (2011, background): “In addition, the genome sequences of the mesophilic marine group 1 Crenarchaeota, Cenarchaeum symbiosum and “Ca. Nitrosopumilus maritimus,” suggest the operation of a variant of the 3-HP/4-HP cycle in this ecologically important group discussed below (Hallam et al. 2006, Walker et al. 2010).”
Nitrososphaera viennensis, an ammonia oxidizing archaeon from soil (2011, neutral): “viennensis encoding key enzymes of the potential carbon fixation pathway of AOA (the 3-hydroxypropionate/4hydroxybutyrate cycle) that are present in all thaumarchaeotal genomes (33, 39), as well as in metagenomes (40).”
Examining the global distribution of dominant archaeal populations in soil (2011, background): “…of novel archaeal lineages, the development of new functional markers and probes, the cultivation of over 50 different archaeal strains, and the sequencing of several archaeal genomes, including that of an ammonia-oxidizing group 1 archaeon (see Schleper et al., 2005; Walker et al., 2010).”
Current insights into the autotrophic thaumarchaeal ammonia oxidation in acidic soils (2012, background): “maritimus revealed remarkably divergent pathways of thaumarchaeal ammonia oxidation from bacteria, which potentially offered a significant advantage for thaumarchaea in nutrient-poor environments (Walker et al., 2010).”
Beyond Fossil-Fuel-Driven Nitrogen Transformations (2018, background): “The absence of requisite c-heme biosynthesis pathways in AOA necessitates substitution of HAO for either a nonheme or a Cu-based enzyme for NH2OH oxidation (80).”
Effect of nitrification inhibitors on the growth and activity of Nitrosotalea devanaterra in culture and soil (2013, neutral): “AOA are believed to depend heavily on copper because, unlike AOB, they lack cytochromes and have an alternative electron transfer mechanism consisting of copper-containing proteins (Walker et al., 2010).”
Ecological Aspects of the Distribution of Different Autotrophic CO2 Fixation Pathways (2011, background): “The presence of genes coding for the characteristic enzymes of the HP/HB cycle in the mesophilic aerobic “marine group I” Archaea (“Thaumarchaeota”) suggests that these abundant marine archaea also use this cycle (13, 41, 117).”
Effects of growth phase on the membrane lipid composition of the thaumarchaeon Nitrosopumilus maritimus and their implications for archaeal lipid distributions in the marine environment (2014, methodology): “GDGT-0, 1G-GDGT-0, 2G-GDGT-0, monoglycosidic archaeol (1G-AR), and diglycosidic archaeol (2G-AR) were purified from extracts of Archaeoglobus fulgidus by orthogonal preparative liquid chromatography as described by Zhu et al. (2013). The abundances of core GDGTs, methoxy archaeol and archaeol were a”
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea have more important role than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in ammonia oxidation of strongly acidic soils (2011, background): “…a low-level ammonia substrate threshold that was significantly lower than the requirement by cultivated AOB (Martens-Habbena et al., 2009), and significantly divergent pathways of ammonia oxidation from AOB offering ecological advantage in ammonia-limited environments (Walker et al., 2010).”
