    Archaea as “flexitarians”: Ammonia-oxidizing microbes also feed on amino acids

    2026-09-04T20:01:00Z By Linda Stewart

    Symbiotic ammonia-oxidizing archaea in marine sponges are not strict specialists, but true “flexitarians”. Research has shown that these microbes dine not only on ammonia but also on amino acids - and presumably do that to communicate with their animal host.
