The influence of soil pH on the diversity, abundance and transcriptional activity of ammonia oxidizing archaea and bacteria. (2008, methodology): “Ammonia oxidizing archaea were characterized by cloning and DGGE analysis of amoA genes amplified using primers CrenamA23f/CrenamoA616r (Tourna et al., 2008).”
A review of soil NO transformation: associated processes and possible physiological significance on organisms (2015, background): “Ammonium can 336 also be oxidized by autotrophic ammonium oxidizing archaea (AOA), 337 belonging to the phylum Thaumarchaeota (Könneke et al., 2005; Brochier-338 Armanet et al., 2008; Tourna et al., 2008; Martens-Habbena et al., 2009; 339 Spang et al., 2010).”
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea have more important role than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria in ammonia oxidation of strongly acidic soils (2011, methodology): “1b 54d9 (Tourna et al., 2008), which could be biased against targeting group 1.”
Nitrososphaera viennensis, an ammonia oxidizing archaeon from soil (2011, neutral): “However, the active AOA group was either not investigated (25) or does not reside in signi ﬁ cant numbers in most soil environments (26, 27).”
Exotic invasive plants increase productivity, abundance of ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria and nitrogen availability in intermountain grasslands (2016, methodology): “…buffer was stored at 80 °C. Quantification of the bacterial and thaumarchaeal ammonia oxidizers was performed according to Leininger et al. (2006) and Tourna et al. (2008) using the genes encoding catalytic enzymes of ammonia oxidation (bacterial and thaumarchaeal amoA) as molecular markers.”
Abundance and community structure of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria and archaea in a temperate forest ecosystem under ten-years elevated CO2 (2012, methodology): “The amoA genes of AOA and AOB were amplified using primers amoA1F (GGG GTT TCT ACT GGT GGT)/amoA2R (CCC CTC KGS AAA GCC TTC TTC) and CrenamoA23F (ATG GTC TGG CTW AGA CG)/CrenamoA616R (GCC ATC CAT CTG TAT GTC CA), respectively, as described previously (He et al., 2007; Tourna et al., 2008).”
Different roles of rhizosphere effect and long-term fertilization in the activity and community structure of ammonia oxidizers in a calcareous fluvo-aquic soil (2013, methodology): “AOA amoA genes were amplified using primers CrenamoA23f and CrenamoA616r (Tourna et al., 2008).”
Complete nitrification by Nitrospira bacteria (2015, neutral): “…enrichments contained known AOB or AOA, PCR tests were performed using primer sets amoA-1F/amoA-2R targeting betaproteobacterial amoA63, CamoA-19f/CamoA-616r targeting thaumarchaeal amoA33,64, and 771F/957R for thaumarchaeal 16S rRNA genes65 and the respective published reaction conditions.”
Bacteria rather than Archaea dominate microbial ammonia oxidation in an agricultural soil. (2009, background): “Although the observation of archaeal amoA messenger RNA in soil indicates that amoA genes are transcribed (Treusch et al., 2005; Leininger et al., 2006; Chen et al., 2008; Nicol et al., 2008; Tourna et al., 2008), this does not necessarily mean that Archaea use ammonia oxidation as exclusive energy ”
