The third domain Archaea was known to thrive in extreme or
anoxic environments based on cultivation studies. Recent metagenomics-
based approaches revealed a widespread abundance
of archaea, including ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA)
of Thaumarchaeota in non-extreme and oxic environments.
AOA alter nitrogen species availability by mediating the first
step of chemolithoautotrophic nitrification, ammonia oxidation
to nitrite, and are important primary producers in ecosystems,
which affects the distribution and activity of other
organisms in ecosystems. Thus, information on the interactions
of AOA with other cohabiting organisms is a crucial
element in understanding nitrogen and carbon cycles in ecosystems
as well as the functioning of whole ecosystems. AOA
are self-nourishing, and thus interactions of AOA with other
organisms can often be indirect and broad. Besides, there are
possibilities of specific and obligate interactions. Mechanisms
of interaction are often not clearly identified but only inferred
due to limited knowledge on the interaction factors analyzed
by current technologies. Here, we overviewed different types
of AOA interactions with other cohabiting organisms, which
contribute to understanding AOA functions in ecosystems.
