"Asgard" or "Asgardarchaeota" [2] is a proposed superphylum belonging to the domain Archaea that contain eukaryotic signature proteins. [3] It appears that the eukaryotes, the domain that contains the animals, plants, and fungi, emerged within the "Asgard", [4] in a branch containing the Heimdallarchaeota. [5]
Nitrososphaerota are important ammonia oxidizers in aquatic and terrestrial environments, and are the first archaea identified as being involved in nitrification. [32] They are capable of oxidizing ammonia at much lower substrate concentrations than ammonia-oxidizing bacteria, and so probably dominate in oligotrophic conditions.
Recent figures indicate that there are more than 1.4 billion insects for each human on the planet, [27] or roughly 10 19 (10 quintillion) individual living insects on the earth at any given time. [28] An article in The New York Times claimed that the world holds 300 pounds of insects for every pound of humans. [28]
