Abstract excerpt
Considering their abundance and broad distribution, non-extremophilic Crenarchaeota are likely to play important roles in global organic and inorganic matter cycles. The diversity and abundance of archaeal 16S rRNA and putative ammonia monooxygenase alpha-subunit (amoA) genes were comparatively analyzed to study genetic potential for nitrification of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) in the surface layers (0-1 cm)...
