A Method for Cell Culture and Maintenance of Ammonia-Oxidizing Archaea in Agar Stab.

ABSTRACT: Ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) are predominantly found and closely linked with geochemical cycling of nitrogen in non-extreme habitats. However, these strains have mainly been investigated using liquid cultures of enriched cells. Here, we provide an agar stab as a simple and reliable means of cultivating and maintaining AOA.
