Distributions of crenarchaeal amoA genes and transcripts in the Pacific Ocean

Distributions of crenarchaeal amoA genes and transcripts in the Pacific Ocean

Planktonic Crenarchaea are thought to play a key role in chemolithotrophic ammonia oxidation, a critical step of the marine nitrogen (N) cycle. In this study, we examined the spatial distributions of ammonia-oxidizing Crenarchaea across a large (∼5200 km) region of the central Pacific Ocean. Examina...
