Unifying the global phylogeny and environmental distribution of ammonia-oxidising archaea based on amoA genes
Ammonia-oxidising archaea (AOA) were only discovered a little over a decade ago and remain poorly characterized despite their ubiquity and importance for nitrogen cycling. Here, the authors define a taxonomy of AOA based on a resolved amoA phylogeny and describe emergent global patterns in AOA diver...
