Ammonia Oxidation in the Ocean can be Inhibited by Nanomolar Concentrations of Hydrogen Peroxide

Marine Thaumarchaeota were discovered over 20 years ago and although a few isolates from this group are now available for study, we do not yet understand the environmental controls on their growth and distribution. Thaumarchaeotes oxidize ammonia to nitrite, mediating a key step in the global nitro...
