• Contrasting effects of nitrogen forms and soil pH on ammonia oxidizing microorganisms and their responses to long-term nitrogen fertilization in a typical steppe ecosystem (2017, background): “Compared with AOB, AOA have high affinity for reduced N (Martens-Habbena et al., 2009).”
• Dark inorganic carbon fixation sustains the functioning of benthic deep‐sea ecosystems (2013, background): “Nitrifying prokaryotes belong to both the Bacteria (i.e., the b-subgroup and g-subgroup of Proteobacteria [Kowalchuk and Stephen, 2001; Arp and Stein, 2003]) and Archaea [Venter et al., 2004; Könneke et al., 2005; Hallam et al., 2006a, 2006b;Martens-Habbena et al., 2009] domains.”
• Microbial Nitrogen Cycling in Estuaries: From Genes to Ecosystem Processes (2018, background): “…of the ammonia-oxidizing archaeon Nitrosopumilus maritimus SCM1 have demonstrated a remarkably high affinity for both ammonium and oxygen (Martens-Habbena et al. 2009), suggesting at least some ammonia-oxidizing archaea can respond rapidly to the availability of either substrate.”
• Interactions between Diatoms and Bacteria (2012, background): “In contrast, ammonia-oxidizing archaea are predicted to outcompete diatoms for ammonia because the archaeal ammonia-oxidizing enzymes have a higher affinity to ammonia than diatom cells (118).”
• Nitrososphaera viennensis, an ammonia oxidizing archaeon from soil (2011, neutral): “Environmental studies (14, 17, 18), as well as physiological investigations of the only marine cultivated isolate of AOA, Nitrosopumilus maritimus (8, 19), indicate that marine thau-marchaeota might indeed perform the bulk nitri fi cation in the oceans.”
• Estuarine Nitrifiers: New Players, Patterns and Processes (2010, neutral): “However, due to vastly different oxidation kinetics 25 among AOA and AOB and the recently-reported sensitivity to agitation of N. maritimus 26 (Martens-Habbena et al., 2009), it is unlikely that potential nitrification rates reflect the 27 contribution of all nitrifiers present.”
• Production of oceanic nitrous oxide by ammonia-oxidizing archaea (2012, neutral): “In contrast, the detection of the nitrite reductase gene nirK in the sequenced genomes of cultured Thaumarchaeota (Könneke et al., 2005; Martens-Habbena et al., 2009) led to the theory that AOA might produce N2O by nitrifier-denitrification.”
• 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): “They play a key role in the marine nitrogen cycle by catalyzing the first and rate-limiting step of nitrification, the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite, and are well adapted to the oligotrophic conditions commonly found in the open ocean (Martens-Habbena et al., 2009; Stahl and de la Torre, 2012; Kön”
