Question

The introductory passage discusses how Nitrososphaera viennensis was discovered and made researchers realize that archaeans, not just bacteria, could aerobically oxidize ammonia to nitrite in the soil. Researchers had previously realized that another member of the Thaumarchaeota, the marine organism Nitrosopumilus maritimus, could perform this first step in the important biological process of nitrification. Compare N. maritimus, N. viennensis, and nitrifying bacteria by dragging each characteristic to the most appropriate bin. Drag each characteristic into the correct bin.

Explanation / Answer

Nitrifying bacteria- can oxidize ammonia to nitrite.

N.viennensis and nitrifying bacteria- can thrive at very high NH3 concentration, use Calvin cycle to fix and assimilate carbon.

N.maritimus, N.viennensis and nitrifying bacteria- use 3-hydroxypropionate/4-hydroxybutryrate cycle to fix and assimilate carbon, have crenarchaeota in their cell membrane, only N.maritimus can thrive at low NH3 concentration.
