Nitrification of archaeal ammonia oxidizers in acid soils is supported by hydrolysis of urea.
Lu Lu,Wenyan Han,Jinbo Zhang,Yucheng Wu,Baozhan Wang,Xiangui Lin,Jianguo Zhu,Zucong Cai,Zhongjun Jia +8 more
TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that archaeal ammonia oxidation is supported by hydrolysis of urea and that AOA, from the marine Group 1.1a-associated lineage, dominate nitrification in two acidic soils tested.
Methane oxidation coupled to oxygenic photosynthesis in anoxic waters
Jana Milucka,Mathias K. Kirf,Lu Lu,Andreas Krupke,Phyllis Lam,Phyllis Lam,Sten Littmann,Marcel M. M. Kuypers,Carsten J. Schubert +8 more
TL;DR: The combined results from molecular, biogeochemical and single-cell analyses indicate that methane removal at the anoxic chemocline of Lago di Cadagno is due to true aerobic oxidation of methane fuelled by in situ oxygen production by photosynthetic algae.
Urease gene-containing Archaea dominate autotrophic ammonia oxidation in two acid soils
Lu Lu,Zhongjun Jia +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that autotrophic ammonia oxidation in two acid soils was predominately driven by AOA that contain ureC genes encoding the alpha subunit of a putative archaeal urease, which suggests that ureolytic N metabolism could afford AOA greater advantages for autot fatty acid oxidation in acid soil.

Long-Term Field Fertilization Significantly Alters Community Structure of Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria rather than Archaea in a Paddy Soil
TL;DR: The results suggest that AOB might play major roles in the NH 3 oxidation that occurs in bulk soil under the in situ fertilized paddy field conditions tested in this study.

Expansion of Thaumarchaeota habitat range is correlated with horizontal transfer of ATPase operons
Baozhan Wang,Baozhan Wang,Wei Qin,Yi Ren,Xue Zhou,Man-Young Jung,Ping Han,Emiley A. Eloe-Fadrosh,Meng Li,Yue Zheng,Lu Lu,Xin Yan,Junbin Ji,Yang Liu,Linmeng Liu,Cheryl Heiner,Richard Hall,Willm Martens-Habbena,Craig W. Herbold,Sung-Keun Rhee,Douglas H. Bartlett,Li Huang,Anitra E. Ingalls,Michael Wagner,Michael Wagner,David A. Stahl,Zhongjun Jia +26 more
TL;DR: It is shown that expansion into acidic soils and the high pressures of the hadopelagic zone of the oceans is tightly linked to the acquisition of a variant of the energy-yielding ATPases via horizontal transfer.
