Here we describe tubulins encoded in the genomes of thaumarchaeota of the genus Nitrosoarchaeum that we denote artubulins Phylogenetic analysis results are compatible with the origin of eukaryotic tubulins from artubulins.
2014, Anthony D. Bertagnolli, Kelley A. Meinhardt, Manmeet Pannu, Sally Brown, Stuart Strand, Steven C. Fransen, David A. Stahl, “Influence of edaphic and management factors on the diversity and abundance of ammonia‐oxidizing thaumarchaeota and bacteria in soils of bioenergy crop cultivars”, in Environmental Microbiology Reports:
Ammonia‐oxidizing thaumarchaeota (AOA) and ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria (AOB) differentially influence soil and atmospheric chemistry, but soil properties that control their distributions are poorly understood.
2016 February, Q Li, C Amano, T Nunoura, S Takahashi, M Utsumi, “Abundance and Transcriptional Activity of Thaumarchaeal amoA and ureC genes in North Pacific Ocean”, in American Geophysical Union, Ocean Sciences Meeting 2016:
The rare ureC gene expression indicate that only few thaumarchaeota may use urea to fuel nitrification

A predominance of I.1c thaumarcheota has been commonly reported in more acidic soils

The taxonomic affiliation of the sequences is consistent with the presence of microorganisms involved in crucial steps of biogeochemical cycles in AMZs, such as the gamma‐proteobacteria sulfur oxidisers, the anammox bacteria Candidatus Scalindua and the thaumarcheota ammonia oxidisers of the Marine Group I.
