英文摘要 | Members of the Thaumarchaeota phylum play a key role in nitrogen cycling and are prevalent in a variety of environments including soil, sediment, and seawater. However, few studies have shown the presence of Thaumarchaeota in the terrestrial deep subsurface. Using high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing, this study presents evidence for the high relative abundance of Thaumarchaeota in a biofilm sample collected from the well of Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling at a depth of 2000 m. Phylogenetic analysis showed a close relationship of these thaumarchaeotal sequences with known ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) isolates, suggesting the presence of AOA in the deep metamorphic environment of eastern China which is believed to be oxic. Based on fluid geochemistry and FAProTax functional prediction, a pathway of nitrogen cycling is proposed. Firstly, heterotrophic nitrogen fixation is executed by diazotrophic bacteria coupled with methane oxidation. Then, ammonia is oxidized to nitrite by AOA, and nitrite is further oxidized to nitrate by bacteria within the phylum Nitrospirae. Denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation occur slowly, leading to nitrate accumulation in the subsurface. With respect to biogeochemistry, the reaction between downward diffusing O-2 and upward diffusing CH4 potentially fuels the ecosystem with a high relative abundance of Thaumarchaeota. |
