• Ammonia-oxidizing archaea have similar power requirements in diverse marine oxic sediments 

      Zhao, Rui; Mogollon, Jose M; Roerdink, Desiree Lisette; Thorseth, Ingunn Hindenes; Økland, Ingeborg Elisabet; Jørgensen, Steffen Leth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Energy/power availability is regarded as one of the ultimate controlling factors of microbial abundance in the deep biosphere, where fewer cells are found in habitats of lower energy availability. A critical assumption ...
    • Mapping Microbial Abundance and Prevalence to Changing Oxygen Concentration in Deep-Sea Sediments Using Machine Learning and Differential Abundance 

      Møller, Tor Einar; Moine-Bauer, Sven Le; Hannisdal, Bjarte; Zhao, Rui; Baumberger, Tamara; Roerdink, Desiree Lisette; Dupuis, Amandine; Thorseth, Ingunn Hindenes; Pedersen, Rolf B.; Jørgensen, Steffen Leth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Oxygen constitutes one of the strongest factors explaining microbial taxonomic variability in deep-sea sediments. However, deep-sea microbiome studies often lack the spatial resolution to study the oxygen gradient and ...
    • Nitrite accumulation and anammox bacterial niche partitioning in Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge sediments 

      Zhao, Rui; Babbin, AR; Roerdink, Desiree Lisette; Thorseth, Ingunn Hindenes; Jørgensen, Steffen Leth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      By consuming ammonium and nitrite, anammox bacteria form an important functional guild in nitrogen cycling in many environments, including marine sediments. However, their distribution and impact on the important substrate ...
    • Phylogenetic and functional diverse ANME-1 thrive in Arctic hydrothermal vents 

      Vulcano, Francesca; Hahn, Cedric Jasper; Roerdink, Desiree Lisette; Dahle, Håkon; Reeves, Eoghan; Wegener, Gunter; Steen, Ida Helene; Stokke, Runar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The methane-rich areas, the Loki's Castle vent field and the Jan Mayen vent field at the Arctic Mid Ocean Ridge (AMOR), host abundant niches for anaerobic methane-oxidizers, which are predominantly filled by members of the ...
