Iron requirements and uptake strategies of the globally abundant marine ammonia-oxidising archaeon, Nitrosopumilus maritimus SCM1
Ammonia-oxidising archaea (AOA) mediate the rate-limiting step of nitrification, the central component of the marine nitrogen cycle that converts ammonia to nitrite then nitrate. Competition with phytoplankton for ammonium and light inhibition are considered to restrict AOA activity to below the pho...
