Abstract

Microbial nitrification is critical to nitrogen loss from agricultural soils. Here, we report three thaumarchaeotal metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) representing a new species of Nitrososphaera. These genomes expand the representation of archaeal nitrifiers recovered from arid, agricultural soils.
