Comparison of lipid biomarker and gene abundance characterizing the archaeal ammonia-oxidizing community in flooded soils
In the last years, archaea have been identified as key players in global N cycling, especially in nitrification. Ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) are postulated to belong to the new phylum Thaumarchaeota for which the lipid crenarchaeol should be specific. The ratios between two independent markers f...
