Temporal and spatial response of bacterioplankton lineages to annual convective overturn at the Bermuda Atlantic Time‐series Study site (2005, background): “…abundance estimates and have indicated that SAR11 cells can account for 35% of surface microbial communities in the Atlantic Ocean (Morris et al. 2002), and Archaea group I cells can account for 39% of mesopelagic and bathypelagic microbial communities in the Pacific Ocean (Karner et al. 2001).”
The organic geochemistry of glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether lipids: A review (2013, background): “30% in marine water (Karner et al., 2001) to up to 50% or more in deeply buried marine”
Pathways of Carbon Assimilation and Ammonia Oxidation Suggested by Environmental Genomic Analyses of Marine Crenarchaeota (2006, background): “an estimated 20% of all planktonic prokaryotes [1,2].”
Coral-associated Archaea (2004, methodology): “However, culture-independent techniques based on 16S rDNA analyses have shown that Archaea are common in marine and other environments (DeLong 1992, Fuhrman et al. 1992, 1993, 1994, DeLong et al. 1994, Fuhrman & Davis 1997, Massana et al. 1997, 2000, Murray et al. 1998, 1999, Karner et al. 2001).”
Changes in bacterial activity and community structure in response to dissolved organic matter in the Hudson River, New York (2004, background): “In aerobic water columns of many aquatic ecosystems, the heterotrophic assemblage is dominated by only a few bacterial groups from 2 of these divisions (Giovannoni & Rappé 2000, Kirchman 2002); Archaea appear to be abundant in the deep ocean, but not in surface waters (Karner et al. 2001).”
Carbohydrate production by phytoplankton and degradation in the marine microbial food web (2006, background): “low numbers throughout the water column, whereas crenarchaea were found to be as abundant as bacteria at depths below 1000 m (Karner et al. 2001).”
Distribution and activity of Bacteria and Archaea in the deep water masses of the North Atlantic (2006, methodology): “The mean values for the different water masses ranged from 24% to 33% (Table 2), whereas percentages between 30% and 70% were found for the same depth range in the Pacific (Karner et al. 2001) and the Southern Ocean (Church et al. 2003).”
Relative contributions of archaea and bacteria to aerobic ammonia oxidation in the environment. (2008, background): “For mesophilic crenarchaea, most soils are dominated by sequences within the 1.1b lineage, while organisms belonging to the 1.1a lineage have been estimated to represent approximately 20% of all prokaryotes in the World's oceans (Karner et al., 2001).”
Microbial Nitrogen Cycling in Estuaries: From Genes to Ecosystem Processes (2018, background): “…ocean waters led to the discovery of two groups of mesophilic marine archaea, including a ubiquitous clade of mesophilic Crenarchaeota called Marine Group I (MGI) Crenarchaeota (DeLong 1992; Fuhrman et al. 1992), which were later shown to be highly abundant in the deep ocean (Karner et al. 2001).”
Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization and Catalyzed Reporter Deposition for the Identification of Marine Bacteria (2002, neutral): “However, the protocol was not specifically tested for either archaea, planctomyces, or gram-positive bacteria, which may be present in the marine environment (9, 13, 16, 25, 38), and our permeabilization strategy might not be adequate for the detection of these groups (47).”
Microbial community structure and variability in the tropical Pacific (2002, background): “The recent application of molecular methods to open-ocean plankton communities make it clear, for example, that the heterotrophic bacteria (HBACT) category enumerated by flow cytometry comprises a diverse assemblage of true Bacteria as well as species of the Kingdom Archaea (Giovannoni et al., 1990;”
Bacterial control of silicon regeneration from diatom detritus: Significance of bacterial ectohydrolases and species identity (2001, background): “…detected in various marine environments (DeLong 1992; Fuhrman et al. 1993; DeLong 1998) and have recently been shown to dominate mesopelagic zones (Karner et al. 2001), but they have not been found to be associated with diatoms (which argues against transport via sinking phytodetrital aggregates).”
New perspectives in benthic deep-sea microbial ecology (2015, background): “Available investigations indicate that archaeal abundance can equal bacterial abundance or even dominate not only in deep-sea waters beneath 1000 m depth, but also in subsurface sediments (Karner et al., 2001; Biddle et al., 2006; Schippers and Neretin, 2006; Lipp et al., 2008).”
