Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrososphaera viennensis gen. nov., sp. nov., an aerobic and mesophilic, ammonia-oxidizing archaeon from soil and a member of the archaeal phylum Thaumarchaeota.
Michaela Stieglmeier,Andreas Klingl,Ricardo J. Eloy Alves,Simon K.-M. R. Rittmann,Michael Melcher,Nikolaus Leisch,Christa Schleper +6 more
TL;DR: A mesophilic, neutrophilic and aerobic, ammonia-oxidizing archaeon, strain EN76T, was isolated from garden soil in Vienna (Austria) and had an S-layer with p3 symmetry, so far only reported for members of the Sulfolobales.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unifying the global phylogeny and environmental distribution of ammonia-oxidising archaea based on amoA genes.
Ricardo J. Eloy Alves,Bui Quang Minh,Bui Quang Minh,Tim Urich,Arndt von Haeseler,Christa Schleper +5 more
TL;DR: A taxonomy of AOA is defined based on a resolved amoA phylogeny and emergent global patterns in AOA diversity are described, revealing global environmental patterns that challenge many earlier generalisations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrification in terrestrial hot springs of Iceland and Kamchatka
Laila J. Reigstad,Andreas Richter,Holger Daims,Tim Urich,Tim Urich,Lorenz Schwark,Christa Schleper,Christa Schleper +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is provided for an active role of archaea in nitrification of hot springs in a wide range of pH values and at a high temperature, and addition of ammonium to the hot spring samples before incubation yielded a more than twofold higher potential nitrification rate, indicating that the process was limited by ammonia supply.
Journal ArticleDOI
First insight into the genome of an uncultivated crenarchaeote from soil.
Achim Quaiser,Torsten Ochsenreiter,Hans-Peter Klenk,Arnulf Kletzin,Alexander H. Treusch,Guido Meurer,Jürgen Eck,Christoph Wilhelm Sensen,Christa Schleper +8 more
TL;DR: Content and structure of the genomic fragment indicated that the archaea from soil differ significantly from their previously studied uncultivated marine relatives, and the protein encoding genes gave the first insights into the physiological potential of these organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ammonia oxidation: different niches for bacteria and archaea?
TL;DR: There is no longer any excuse for international community to pursue deep and rapid cuts in the use of fossil fuels and other greenhouse gas emitting sources, given the strong evidence that the authors are fundamentally changing Earth’s ‘heart and lungs’.
