Ammonia-oxidizing archaea use the most energy-efficient aerobic pathway for CO 2 fixation
Open accessAbstract
Significance: CO 2 fixation is the most important biosynthesis process on Earth, enabling autotrophic organisms to synthesize their entire biomass from inorganic carbon at the expense of energy generated by photo- or chemotrophic processes. In the present study we demonstrate an autotrophy pathway that represents the most energy-efficient mechanism for fixing inorganic carbon in the presence of oxygen. This novel variant of the hydroxypropionate/hydroxybutyrate cycle appears to be common in a ubiquitous and abundant group of microorganisms that can thrive in nutrient-limited environments. This discovery offers a biochemical explanation for the remarkable ecological success of the ammonia-oxidizing archaea in extremely nutrient-limited environments typical of most of the open ocean.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
