Abstract excerpt
The recent availability of complete sequences of ammonia monooxygenase (16 amoA, 5 amoB and 5 amoC gene sequences) and particulate methane monooxygenase (2 pmoA, pmoB and pmoC gene sequences each) genes allowed for a detailed analysis of their relatedness. Nucleotide sequence analysis was performed in order to identify the origins of the nearly identical operon copies within a given nitrosofier/methanotroph...
