The ecological function of thaumarchaeota in marine sediments, however, has rarely been investigated, even though marine sediments constitute the majority of the Earth's surface. Thaumarchaeota in the upper layer of sediments may contribute significantly to the reservoir of nitrogen oxides in ocean waters and thus to productivity, including the assimilation of carbon. We tested this hypothesis in the northern South China Sea (nSCS), a section of a large oligotrophic marginal sea with limited influx of nutrients, including nitrogen, by investigating the diversity, abundance, community structure, and spatial distribution of thaumarchaeotal signatures in surface sediments. Quantitative real-time PCR using primers designed to detect 16S rRNA and\n            <jats:italic>amoA<\/jats:italic>\n            genes in sediment community DNA revealed a significantly higher abundance of pertinent thaumarchaeotal than betaproteobacterial genes. This finding correlates with high levels of\n            <jats:italic>hcd<\/jats:italic>\n            genes, a signature of thaumarchaeotal autotrophic carbon fixation. Thaumarchaeol, a signature lipid biomarker for thaumarchaeota, constituted the majority of archaeal lipids in marine sediments. Sediment temperature and organic P and silt contents were identified as key environmental factors shaping the community structure and distribution of the monitored thaumarchaeotal\n            <jats:italic>amoA<\/jats:italic>\n            genes. When the pore water PO\n            <jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub>\n            <jats:sup>3\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n            concentration was controlled for via partial-correlation analysis, thaumarchaeotal\n            <jats:italic>amoA<\/jats:italic>\n            gene abundance significantly correlated with the sediment pore water NO\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            <jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n            concentration, suggesting that the\n            <jats:italic>amoA<\/jats:italic>\n            -bearing thaumarchaeota contribute to nitrite production. Statistical analyses also suggest that thaumarchaeotal metabolism could serve as a pivotal intersection of the carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycles in marine sediments.\n
