This research focuses on the role of Marine Crenarchaeota in oceanic nitrification processes, particularly in deep waters where ammonia is scarce. It aims to assess the contribution of these microorganisms to nitrogen cycling and carbon fixation in the ocean's depths using advanced genetic techniques.
Over the past 10 years, it become apparent that Crenarchaeota are not only striving in some extreme environments but that they are ubiquitously present in the aquatic and terrestrial environment including the oceanic water column.
In the pelagic realm of the ocean, their relative contribution to the total prokaryotic abundance increases with depth.
It has been shown that the mesophilic Marine Crenarchaeota Group I (MCGI) live chemoautotrophically, fixing carbon dioxide as carbon source and using…
