TLDR
Three strains of pelagic ammonia-oxidizing archaea from the North Pacific Ocean that have been maintained in laboratory culture for over 3 years are reported, indicating they belong to a previously identified clade of water column-associated AOA and possess 16S ribosomal RNA genes and ammonia monooxygenase subunit a genes highly similar to those recovered in DNA and complementary DNA clone libraries from the open ocean.
