Abundance of ammonia-oxidizing Archaea (AOA) was found to be always greater than that of ammonia-oxidizing Bacteria along an estuarine salinity gradient, and AOA abundance was highest at intermediate salinity. However, AOA abundance did not correlate with potential nitrification rates. This lack of correlation may be due to methodological limitations or alternative energy sources.
在沿河口盐度梯度的过程中,氨氧化古菌(AOA)的丰度总是大于氨氧化细菌(AOB),并且在中等盐度下 AOA 的丰度最高。然而,AOA 的丰度与潜在硝化速率无关。这种缺乏相关性可能是由于方法学上的限制或替代能源。
