Urea use drives niche separation between dominant marine ammonia oxidizing archaea - Nature Communications Two groups of ammonia-oxidizing archaea drive marine nitrification. Stuehrenberg et al. reveal that their distribution reflects substrate use, with one relying on urea and the other on ammonia to main...
