Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are ubiquitous in various marine environments and play important roles in the global nitrogen and carbon cycles. We here present a high-quality draft genome sequence of an ammonia-oxidizing archaeon, "Candidatus Nitrosopumilus koreensis" AR1, which was found to dominate an ammonia-oxidizing enrichment culture in marine sediment off Svalbard, the Arctic Circle. Despite a significant number of nonoverlapping genes (ca. 30%), similarities of this strain to "Candidatus Nitrosopumilus maritimus" were revealed by core genes for archaeal ammonia oxidation and carbon fixation, G+C content, and extensive synteny conservation.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers studied the unique microbial communities in Antarctic sponges compared to those in tropical and temperate regions, focusing on how environmental factors shape these differences.
- The study identified specific microorganisms, like Nitrosomonas oligotropha and Polaribacter, that are unique to Antarctic sponges, suggesting they play vital roles as keystone species in these ecosystems.
- Findings highlight significant habitat-specific patterns in microbial diversity, underscoring the influence of Antarctica's harsh conditions and isolation on sponge microbiomes.

The impact of carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratio on sequencing batch biofilm reactor (SBBR) initiated with different seed sludges for treating actual mariculture effluent was explored. Increasing the C/N ratio significantly enhanced the nitrogen removal efficiency, achieving average removal efficiency of 95% for ammonia nitrogen and 73% for total nitrogen at ratio of 30, while the impact of seed sludge was minimal. High C/N ratio promoted the secretion of tightly bound extracellular polymeric substances (TB-EPS), which showed significant correlation with nitrogen removal.

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are widely distributed in marine and terrestrial habitats, contributing significantly to global nitrogen and carbon cycles. However, their genomic diversity, ecological niches, and metabolic potentials in the anoxic intertidal aquifers remain poorly understood. Here, we discovered and named a novel AOA genus, Nitrosomaritimum, from the intertidal aquifers of Yancheng Wetland, showing close metagenomic abundance to the previously acknowledged dominant AOA.

As belonging to one of the most isolated continents on our planet, the microbial composition of different environments in Antarctica could hold a plethora of undiscovered species with the potential for biotechnological applications. This manuscript delineates our discoveries after an expedition to the Bulgarian Antarctic Base "St. Kliment Ohridski" situated on Livingston Island, Antarctica.

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and bacteria (AOB) play an important role in oxidizing ammonia to nitrite in different marine environments; however, their relative contribution to ammonia oxidation in the deep-sea sediments is still largely unknown. Sediment samples from seamounts and the Challenger Deep along the arc of the Yap Trench and the Mariana Trench were used for the investigation of the geographical distribution of AOA and AOB at the cDNA level, with associated potential nitrification rates (PNRs) being measured. AOA was predominated by and Nitrosopumilaceae, while was the major group of AOB.
