New preprint from our team! Experimental evidence that ammonia-oxidizing archaea in sponges use branched chain amino acids as substrates - possibly also key for host interaction #Nitrification #MicroSky 🧪 #ArchaeaSky @bglasl.bsky.social @kathikitzinger.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Who fixes carbon in the dark ocean? A new study in @nature.com, led by @barbarabayer.bsky.social @univie.ac.at shows that ammonia‐oxidizing microbes contribute much less to dark carbon fixation than previously thought – leaving room for unknown players.
