Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation of an autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing marine archaeon
Martin Könneke,Anne E. Bernhard,Anne E. Bernhard,José R. de la Torre,Christopher B. Walker,John B. Waterbury,David A. Stahl +6 more
TL;DR: The isolation of a marine crenarchaeote that grows chemolithoautotrophically by aerobically oxidizing ammonia to nitrite—the first observation of nitrification in the Archaea is reported, suggesting that nitrifying marine Cren archaeota may be important to global carbon and nitrogen cycles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrosopumilus maritimus genome reveals unique mechanisms for nitrification and autotrophy in globally distributed marine crenarchaea
Christopher B. Walker,J.R. de la Torre,Martin G. Klotz,Hidetoshi Urakawa,Nicolás Pinel,Daniel J. Arp,Céline Brochier-Armanet,Patrick S. G. Chain,Patrick S. G. Chain,Patrick S. G. Chain,Patricia P.

Lang,Stefan M. Sievert,Amy C. Rosenzweig,Gerard Manning,David A. Stahl +27 more
TL;DR: The isolation of Candidatus “Nitrosopumilus maritimus” strain SCM1 is reported, revealing highly copper-dependent systems for ammonia oxidation and electron transport that are distinctly different from known ammonia-oxidizing bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrososphaera viennensis, an ammonia oxidizing archaeon from soil
Maria Tourna,Michaela Stieglmeier,Anja Spang,Martin Könneke,Arno Schintlmeister,Tim Urich,Marion Engel,Michael Schloter,Michael Wagner,Andreas Richter,Christa Schleper +10 more
TL;DR: The cultivation and isolation of an AOA from soil is described, showing it grows on ammonia or urea as an energy source and is capable of using higher ammonia concentrations than the marine isolate, Nitrosopumilus maritimus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cultivation of a thermophilic ammonia oxidizing archaeon synthesizing crenarchaeol.
TL;DR: The cultivation of a thermophilic nitrifier ('Candidatus Nitrosocaldus yellowstonii'), an autotrophic crenarchaeote growing up to 74 degrees C by aerobic ammonia oxidation, providing the first direct evidence for its synthesis by a thermophile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ammonia-oxidizing archaea use the most energy-efficient aerobic pathway for CO2 fixation
Martin Könneke,Daniel M. Schubert,Philip C. Brown,Michael Hügler,Sonja Standfest,Thomas Schwander,Lennart Schada von Borzyskowski,Tobias J. Erb,David A. Stahl,Ivan A. Berg +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide biochemical evidence that thaumarchaeal ammonia oxidizers assimilate inorganic carbon via a modified version of the autotrophic hydroxypropionate/hydroxybutyrate cycle of Crenarchaeota, which is far more energy efficient than any other aerobic autoregressive pathway.
