An RNA-based study of the distribution of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms in vertical sediment

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) and ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) play crucial roles in ammonia nitrogen degradation in freshwater lake sediment. However, studies on ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms (AOM) in vertical sediment are still limited, especially with respect to the quantitative analysis...
