Front cover: "Archaea's Universe"-collage made by author. Background: combination of same field micrographs made with epifluorescence microscope using filter sets specific for DAPI (blue color) and CY3 (red color, euryarchaeota specific probe EURY499, paper IV), Valkea Kotinen Lake water sample. Center: 16S rRNA secondary structure diagram of the archaeal soil clone FFSB6-one of the first "non-extreme" crenarchaeota sequences found in forest soil (kindly made by Dr.

Comparison of Archaeal Communities in Mineral Soils at a Boreal Forest in Finland and a Cold-Temperate Forest in Japan
Archaeal communities in mineral soils were compared between a boreal forest in Finland and cold-temperate forest in Japan using 16S rRNA gene-targeted high-throughput sequencing. In boreal soils, Thaumarchaeota Group 1.1c archaea predominated and Thaumarchaeota Group 1.1a-associated and Group 1.1b archaea were also detected. In temperate soils, Thaumarchaeota Group 1.1a-associated and Group 1.1...
متن کاملGlobal Ecological Pattern of Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea
BACKGROUND The global distribution of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), which play a pivotal role in the nitrification process, has been confirmed through numerous ecological studies. Though newly available amoA (ammonia monooxygenase subunit A) gene sequences from new environments are accumulating rapidly in public repositories, a lack of information on the ecological and evolutionary factors s...
متن کاملThe Elusive Boreal Forest Thaumarchaeota
In recent years, Archaea have, with increasing frequency, been found to colonize both agricultural and forest soils in temperate and boreal regions. The as yet uncultured group I.1c of the Thaumarchaeota has been of special interest. These Archaea are widely distributed in mature vegetated acidic soils, but little has been revealed of their physiological and biological characteristics. The I.1c...
متن کاملVariation in Carbon Storage and Its Distribution by Stand Age and Forest Type in Boreal and Temperate Forests in Northeastern China
The northeastern forest region of China is an important component of total temperate and boreal forests in the northern hemisphere. But how carbon (C) pool size and distribution varies among tree, understory, forest floor and soil components, and across stand ages remains unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we selected three major temperate and two major boreal forest types in northeastern ...
متن کاملCrenarchaeota and Euryarchaeota in temperate estuarine sediments.
AIMS Application of molecular techniques to ecological studies has unveiled a wide diversity of micro-organisms in natural communities, previously unknown to microbial ecologists. New lineages of Archaea were retrieved from several non-extreme environments, showing that these micro-organisms are present in a large variety of ecosystems. The aim was therefore to assess the presence and diversity...
