Genetic Diversity of Active Ammonia Oxidizing Archaea and Variation during Macrobenthic Bioremediation in Mudflats of Sansha Bay, China

Archaea are abundant and wide-spread in nature environments, and occupy one third of the prokaryotes in the oceanic ecosystem. It is reported that the ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) are more important ammonia oxidizers than ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB), since the amoA gene (encoding a subunit o...
