Genomic and physiological evidence from some strains of ammonia-oxidizing Thaumarchaeota demonstrate their additional ability to oxidize nitrogen (N) supplied as urea or cyanate, fueling conjecture about their ability to conserve energy by directly oxidizing reduced N from other dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) compounds. Similarly, field studies have shown rapid oxidation of polyamine-N in the ocean, but it is unclear whether Thaumarchaeota oxidize polyamine-N directly or whether heterotrophic DON remineralization is required. We tested growth of two marine Nitrosopumilus isolates on DON compounds including polyamines, amino acids, primary amines, and amides as their sole energy source. Though axenic cultures only consumed N supplied as ammonium or urea, there was rapid but inconsistent oxidation of N from the polyamine putrescine when cultures included a heterotrophic bacterium. Surprisingly, axenic cultures oxidized 15N-putrescine during growth on ammonia, suggesting co-metabolism or accelerated breakdown of putrescine by reactive metabolic byproducts. Nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide, or peroxynitrite did not oxidize putrescine in sterile seawater. These data suggest that the N in common DON molecules is not directly accessible to marine Thaumarchaeota, with thaumarchaeal oxidation (and presumably assimilation) of DON-N requiring initial heterotrophic remineralization. However, reactive byproducts or enzymatic co-metabolism may facilitate limited thaumarchaeal DON-N oxidation.
